Ask about a specific action

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• Sam agrees that Jo may borrow the blue pencil for one activity. Jo then wants the whole pencil case. The original agreement does not cover that new action, so Jo asks separately and waits. If Sam says no, Jo returns to the agreed blue-pencil use or chooses another resource. Friendship does not create permanent permission for belongings.
• A friend said yes to borrowing a ruler; now a child wants the notebook. What next?
• A friend clearly agrees to one high-five, which has not yet happened. What next?
• A friend who lent a book now asks for it back. What next?
• A child asks to post a picture and gets no response. What next?
• A friend agreed to a wave but not a hug. What next before a hug?
• A friend says “Please stop touching my hat” after previously allowing it. What next?

Learn the idea

Permission is about a specific action. Agreement to borrow a pencil is not agreement to take a notebook or share a photo. A person can say no or change their mind, and pressure makes an answer less free.

State the request clearly, wait for an answer and use only the action agreed to. If the situation changes, ask again. An unanswered request is not a yes. A friendly alternative can preserve connection without crossing a boundary.

All examples are fictional. You do not need to name real friends or reveal messages. A responsible adult helps when boundaries are repeatedly ignored. The task teaches respectful everyday choices, not laws about consent.

1. Read or listen to the pretend story. Point to the details the question gives you.
2. Name the action the friend agreed to. Ask again before doing a different action, and wait for a clear answer.
3. Check your answer against the example. Say what matches and what you would change.
4. Try the practice questions, then the extra task. Drawing or spoken answers are welcome.

Take it further

Write a response to “You may borrow this game today, but please do not lend it to someone else.” Expected: use it only as agreed and ask separately before any lending; no pressure if the answer is no.
