Boundaries and respect told in a fun way

"Our Personal Bubble: Boundaries and Respecting Each Other’s Space," and it’s a pretty cool book that talks about something super important – personal space and respecting boundaries. Even though it’s aimed at younger kids, I found it to be really helpful and interesting.

The book explains personal space as this invisible bubble we all have around us, and it uses simple words and fun illustrations to show why it’s important to respect this bubble. For example, it talks about what happens when someone stands too close or touches without asking. It uses everyday situations like playing with friends or being in school to make its point.

The illustrations are bright and really bring the story to life. They’re not just pretty pictures; they actually help explain the ideas in the book. The characters are expressive, and the settings are detailed, making it easier to understand and relate to the scenarios.

One thing I really liked is how the book gets you involved. At the end of each section, there are questions and activities that make you think about your own experiences and how you can apply what you’ve learned. It’s interactive, which makes it way more engaging than just reading.

The author does a great job of keeping the tone friendly and not preachy, which is nice because it feels like you’re learning from a friend rather than being lectured. This makes it a great book for both kids and their parents or teachers who want to talk about personal boundaries in a positive way.

Overall, "Our Personal Bubble" is a fantastic read for anyone who wants to understand more about personal space and respect. It’s fun, educational, and really easy to understand. Whether you’re a kid, a teen, or even an adult, it’s a great reminder of why respecting each other’s space is so important.

a Great Social Skill Book for Grade Schoolers

I really enjoyed Dr.Chan’s book about Boundries and the concept of “personal bubble”. The illustrations were charming and well related to the concept. As a grandmother and a counselor I think every elementary school should have this book in their library. One of the things I liked the most is it did not at all talk down to the children.

The only thing I felt lacking was that the lead character is a girl and I would have liked a boy somewhere possibly as an alternate lead character - I have grandsons and I think that would have engaged them better.

Overall, though a very important book with Important concepts for children to know about n

Must read!

Absolutely amazing book to keep! I love quality of the book the author and illustrator put their whole heart into! Personal space is a really important topic to educate kids on. I like how the author breaks people into groups, and noted how much personal space is considered appropriate to share with each of them.

It’s very helpful to include community helpers too. The author also touches on the personal space that’s never appropriate for anyone to see or touch, not even for family members for kids’ safety.

I’d definitely gift my friends this book for their little ones. It’s a must-have on the bookshelf to teach young kids safety and social skills.

Important Book on Personal Space

This is a very important book on personal space and staying safe with strangers. The book explains the concept of personal space in a way kids can understand, by illustrating that space with a bubble. It also explains that children do not need to allow people into their space if they do not feel comfortable doing so and should feel comfortable saying “no”. It also mentions private parts and never talking to or helping an adult stranger alone.

Personal Bubble

This is a great educational book that teaches young readers about personal space, having boundaries, and respecting boundaries. This book teaches why it is important to give others their personal space. It also explains that it’s okay for the reader to want his or her own personal space. The illustrations are bright and attractive, but also give a clear depiction of the text. Great read that can lead to discussions at home and in the classroom.

Perfect book to describe body autonomy

Love this book, explaining personal space very clearly, and empowering children to express body autonomy in a safe and appropriate way. The days of giving hugs on demand is long gone, and rightly so. Everyone has been there as a child, giving into pressure for unwelcome hugs. No more! This explains very clearly how to give others space, too, when they don’t want to be too physically close. Fab illustrations, too.

Great message

Another great book for kids! This one teaches about personal space and especially that it can change depending on your mood. All the different kinds of people in our lives and how personal we should allow them to be. That saying no is ok, and we should respect that from others and for ourselves.

covers a lot of personal bubble areas

This is an excellent book for those kids that are always hanging on to someone, has no concept of their space vs others. I liked how it even went over private issues explained the title of types of people you may come across and even touched on strangers.

Very much needed!

This book is wonderful. The personal bubbles are a great way to show there is space around us all that others should not enter if we don't want them in it. I love that the book tells kids it's OK to say NO and STOP!! Great way to introduce boundaries at a young age!!

Must read for young readers

Having these types of discussions with our children is so important. Boundaries and feeling comfortable around others can be challenging for kids. Parents can use books like this to help their children understand safety and protect their own bubble. I recommend this excellent resource for families with little ones.
