Personal Space Awareness


What’s happening?

Shield metaphor becomes body boundary.


Teacher Script:

“The shield isn’t for fighting. It’s for protecting space.” “One arm length is a simple rule that keeps friendships safe.” “When we stand too close, people feel uncomfortable. When we protect space, people feel safe.”

Ask:

  • How do you know if someone is too close?
  • Why does space protect friendships?
  • When might you need a body shield?

Skill:

Body awareness and spatial regulation
