This lesson focuses on defining our "rules" regarding interactions with friends, family, possessions, and our bodies as their preferences and boundaries may not always be obvious to others.Week 3Lesson 3How to communicate our rules and preferences in an assertive way.This lesson will reinforce the concept of assertiveness and emphasize the significance of advocating for ourselves in situations where we feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or disrespected.Week 4Lesson 4Setting and Holding BoundariesWhen clear communication of our needs isn't being respected by others, it's time to establish a boundary.

I have a degree in elementary education and have been working with kids through teaching, coaching, and childcare for over 20 years. I have extensive experience and expertise working with ESL learners. Also, I am raising 4 children of my own. I am often inspired to create classes that cover subjects I find important in my own parenting journey. I am a lifelong learner and an avid reader. To support my curriculum development I dedicate significant time to reading, listening, and learning about the most current research on child development, teaching, and parenting, and safety. I also have taught on this topic in my live ongoing classes hundreds of times. I have a unique way to discuss hard topics with children. A way that truely sticks.
