1. Personal Space
January 18, 2013

2. What is personal space?
Personal space is when you are too close to someone.

3. How close is too close?
If you can reach your arms out and touch someone, you are too close.
You can make someone very nervous and/or upset if you are standing or talking too close to them.

5. Things to remember about Personal Space…
When I am talking to someone,
I should not be in their personal space.
I should stay one arm’s length from people when I am taking to them.
I should not touch other people’s bodies when I am talking to them.
Sometimes it is OK to be closer than one arm’s length to a person. These times are when it is crowded or when the other person is a close friend or family member.
