Introduction and Objective

Have you ever heard the phrase “being pushed to the limit”? It means to put pressure on someone, or to bug a person too much. It may sound like a silly phrase, but the idea of having a limit is a good thing.

We all have personal boundaries, or lines that we don’t want to cross and don’t want others to cross, either. Understanding those boundaries, knowing how to explain them, and knowing how to refuse something that crosses your boundaries are all part of making healthy decisions.

Today’s lesson objective is: Students will explain the importance of decision-making and hypothesize reasons why peers and the media have an impact on decision-making.

Sexual Assault and Abuse affects hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. It is up to us to take an active role in providing age-appropriate educational information to our students.

Although there is no way to prevent assault or abuse from happening, the strategies in these lessons can help to minimize a child's risk and show them where to get help if needed.
