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
