Healthy relationship skills, personal boundaries and supportive connections are the focus of this printable workbook for young people. Reflection prompts and a relationship-circle activity help children, teenagers and adults think about the people around them, the value of respectful relationships, and the kinds of contact that feel safe and comfortable.
Parents, carers, teachers, school pastoral staff and youth workers supporting children or teenagers with relationship education will find clear, discussion-led activities here. The workbook suits one-to-one support, PSHE lessons, social-emotional learning groups and family conversations about friendships, family relationships, acquaintances and strangers.
Early pages invite the reader to write personal answers to questions such as what a relationship means to them, which relationships are in their life, whether all relationships are the same, what they gain from them and whether relationships last forever. These open prompts can help a child, teen or adult explore their own experiences without needing to disclose more than they wish.
A second reflection page focuses on how relationships affect happiness, stress and resilience. It asks when someone has helped during a stressful time, what has been learned about oneself in relationships, and whether a relationship has had a negative impact. Practitioners can use the answers to identify supportive people, strengths and areas where additional boundary work may be helpful.
Information pages describe relationships as familial, friendship-based, acquaintance and romantic connections, while linking healthy connections with belonging, stress management, healthier habits and resilience. The relationship-circle exercise places “me” at the centre and sorts people into family, friends, acquaintances and strangers, making it a practical personal-boundaries worksheet for discussing trust, appropriate affection, personal space and safe contact.
