Boundaries are personal limits about what a person is comfortable with. They can relate to space, feelings, or behavior. Boundaries are part of relationships and social interactions.

A person may choose how close others stand, what they share, or how they are treated. These limits can be communicated through words, gestures, or actions. Boundaries may differ from one person to another.

Boundaries are taught in social and emotional learning. They help guide respectful interactions in families, friendships, and communities.
