Although boundaries are different for everyone, they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them, and it is necessary for teen friendships as well.

Explanation of Boundaries

Boundaries are limits that teens set to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied. As an expression of self-esteem, boundaries let people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. In addition, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need them.

Importance of Boundaries

Learning how to set boundaries is an important part of growing up. It's also necessary to develop relationships that are respectful, supportive, and healthy. However, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends. When it happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying. Setting boundaries with other people not only helps keep teens safe but also helps protect their mental health.

If teens meet bad people in their lives, such as unkind friends or adults that make them feel uncomfortable, they need to set boundaries with those people, too. Being in an unhealthy relationship can cause bad results.

Ways of Setting Boundaries

In fact, teens will run into a number of different situations throughout their lives that challenge their values and beliefs. Knowing how to set boundaries can help them stay safe and be true to who they are. Please have a look at the following ways.

Born in Italy in 1870, Montessori became the first woman doctor in her country after she graduated from medical school in 1896. Later, working with poor children, she set up a "Children's house" in Rome in 1907.The rooms were bright and colorful. This was the place where she developed the Montessori Method, which was formed during 1908-1913.

Maria thought that children must be free to learn without being criticized (批评) or limited. She let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed, not the rest of the class or the teacher. As a result, children enjoy learning and this gives them confidence and makes them happy. The Montessori Method also teaches children skills to help them become independent. Very young children learn to dress themselves, to cook and to put their toys and clothes away. It's a way of teaching which encourages children to learn by doing and experimenting. Children are encouraged to repeat activities as often as they wish, and they develop their observation (观察) skills by doing different activities.

In addition, the Montessori Method thinks that teacher is a guide, not a leader of the classroom, helping to open students' eyes to wonder around them.

A typical room in a Montessori school has many things children can use. The furniture is light so they can arrange it as they wish. Because the environment offers many activities, children like to work together and they develop a social life based on cooperation (合作) rather than competition.

Maria Montessori travelled around the world to train teachers to use her method. In 1950, she received the World Peace Education Badges.

Simon walked into the house and found his younger brother, Tom, playing on the floor with paper tubes (纸筒). "Simon, help me build a city!" Tom said. "Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven't got any idea yet." Simon replied. He walked into the yard, hoping to find the old beehive (蜂窝). There it was, among the firewood. It smelled like dry leaves and each cell (巢室) was six-sided. "How do bees manage to do that? Can they count?" Simon wondered, as he walked back to the living room while studying the beehive.

Suddenly, a shout from Tom broke his thought, "Oh, no! I am destroying my city!" Tom had knocked over his water bottle and the water was running all over his paper tubes. Simon sighed, "It's okay, Tom. Accidents happen." He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother. Holding them together, he noticed there was one tube in the middle, with six others around it. The wet center tube was pushed into six-sided, just like the cells of the beehive! Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked. He said aloud, "Bees just build round cells and stick the sides together. The cells have to be six-sided." His idea was finally coming together.

Simon looked at Tom cheerfully, "Tom, I know what to write in the report. And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?"

Tom, still in tears, looked up at Simon. "Really? You mean I can help?" He began picking out his finest tubes, a smile returning to his face.

When Mencius and his mother were living near the market, there were many people selling meat. His mother made a living by weaving(织) and4 the cloth. She made little money and wasn't able to5 meat.

One day, on his way home, Mencius heard one of his neighbors killing a pig. He6 ran home and asked his mother, "Why does he7 his pig?" His mother, who was busy with her chores, answered without thinking, "So that you can have meat in your meal." Mencius was8 and clapped his hands, "I can eat meat!"

"I get it. You have kids. You're working two jobs, and then sitting down and listening to9 read is the last thing you have time to do. You have to clean the house or cook dinner. So I say, bring your kids in10 let them read to me."

"There was a11 boy who tried his best to read his book12, stuttering (口吃) over words13 he didn't have a stutter," said Holmes. He let the boy take the book home and practised. "When14 child came back a few days later, he read it with no problem. That encouraged me," Holmes said.

"It may sound silly, but Goat Yoga is really helping people," Morse said. "Goats are perfect for the yoga practice, and they all go together so well."

Morse owns a small farm in Oregon. The farm is called "No Regrets". She also owns several goats there.

Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, the US, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, this started more than a century ago.

"The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky water and driving them to the coast," Cantor said. "The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets." Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves.

Cantor's study described how fishermen and dolphins give cues to each other during fishing. Where dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast nets (撒网). Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. "Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the cues from dolphins," said Cantor.

The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have a 13 percent higher survival rate (存活率) than other dolphins.

Human-animal partnerships have been hard to see throughout history. But they give us an idea of how positive our human interactions (互动) can be with nature.
