c. Boundaries

• (17) Rapport – We need to build rapport to be able to assist (18) students to realize their potential, open up their blankets.

• (19) Respectful communication is the key. It doesn’t mean we are not in authority; we are responsible for their safety. It means we are willing to listen in neutral, focus on what they are really saying without thinking about what we’re going to say next. That builds an Emotional Bank Account.

• Appointment activity – Have participants schedule appointments with each other, then call out a time and have them discuss their favorite teacher, family member, friend. Discuss with the whole group how these people built rapport with them.

• (20) Assertiveness – We respectfully communicate by remaining in an assertive attitude. It is a behavior style; the best way to get our needs met and express ourselves, the best way to build relationships yet maintain discipline.

• Other behavior styles – Aggressive, Passive Aggressive, and Passive (21, 22, 23)

• (24) Assertiveness and Problem Solving

• Getting Needs met – discuss needs VS wants. “What needs do you have in regards to Teen REACH?” “What is the best way to get those met?” (25, 26)

• (27) Boundaries – Sets limits, defines relationships. Boundaries are learned, pain is a teacher. Some children are given messages that teach them to deny pain, i.e. “That didn’t hurt.”

• (28) Boundary impairments –

o No boundaries

• Invasive – invasive people zap energy

• Victim – Doesn’t know they have rights

o (29) Damaged boundaries

o (30) Walls instead of boundaries – Johari Window
