Asking permission means asking clearly before borrowing or entering someone’s space, waiting, and accepting no. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.

Spend about 12 minutes practising respectful asks, waiting, and calm no’s, then checking a fresh role-play.

Check understanding

  • Ask 'May I borrow your pencil?' or 'Can I sit next to you?' before taking or moving close, and wait for an answer
  • Accept a 'no' calmly and choose another option (e.g. ask someone else or wait for a turn)
  • Practise asking permission in role-plays (e.g. before hugging a friend or playing with someone's toy) and say what made the request respectful
“Does your child ask before borrowing a sibling's toy or giving a friend a hug — and accept it calmly if the answer is no?”
