Boundaries and permission
We are learning to ask for permission, and to accept a yes, a no or a changed mind.
Learning Intention
We are learning to ask for permission, and to accept a yes, a no or a changed mind.
Biblical Big Idea
Valuing others means asking before we take, share or touch. A friend waits for a free answer, and an adult helps when a boundary keeps being ignored.

Teacher Notes
ABOUT THIS LESSON
Yes, no, or change your mind – asking and respecting the answer. The lesson helps students ask for permission, and to accept a yes, a no or a changed mind.
TEACHING INSIGHT
Valuing others means asking before we take, share or touch. A friend waits for a free answer, and an adult helps when a boundary keeps being ignored.
FACILITATION FOCUS
The main application is “Ask, answer, respect”, where students move from discussing the idea to trying it in a concrete example. Keep returning to the takeaway: “Real permission is asked for, freely given, and can change.” Look for whether students give an asking sentence and describe waiting for a free answer.
