Boundaries Worksheets: help your child know what feels okay and find the words to say no
A child who knows their own boundaries is better able to speak up when something feels uncomfortable, whether with friends, online or at home. These worksheets use a circle chart to help your child sort what is always okay, what needs some thought and what is a no. They work for children and teens, and for you as a parent too.
Your worksheets will arrive in your inbox within a few minutes.

What's inside
- A blank circle worksheet to print as often as you need, for one boundary at a time, such as hugs, lending things or late-night messages
- Three completed examples to guide you: a 13-year-old, a 15-year-old and an adult practising saying no
- Your child ends up with their own clear picture: always okay, think first, or no
From me
I'm Dr Lucy Russell, a child clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I have used boundary circles in clinic for years. Thinking a boundary through in a calm moment makes it easier for a child to speak up when it matters.
