Healthy Relationships Worksheet

Relationships include friendships, whānau connections and dating relationships. Work through the situations using respect, clear communication and safety. You do not need to share private experiences; you may answer using the fictional examples. If a situation feels unsafe or worrying, talk with a trusted adult or contact a support service.

Spot the relationship skills

Healthy relationships can include care and fun, while still allowing each person to have their own opinions, boundaries and other connections.

1.Ari says, “I can’t meet today; I need time to finish my project.” Which response best respects Ari’s choice?

“That’s okay. Good luck with the project—let me know when you’re free.”
“If you cared about me, you’d make time.”
“I’ll keep messaging until you change your mind.”
“Fine. I’ll tell everyone you’re a bad friend.”

2.Choose three signs of a healthy relationship: being able to disagree respectfully; having privacy; making all decisions for the other person; supporting each other’s goals; feeling pressured to reply instantly.

Communicate clearly

A useful message describes your feeling and need without blaming or insulting the other person. Listening means paying attention and checking you have understood.

3.Rewrite this message as a respectful “I” statement: “You never listen. You’re so annoying.” Keep the focus on a specific situation and what you need.

4.Mere tells Hemi about a disagreement. Hemi puts their phone away, listens without interrupting, then says, “It sounds like you felt left out—is that right?” What active-listening skills does Hemi use?

5.True or false: A boundary is a way to control another person and make them do what you want.

TrueFalse

Work through a tricky situation

Read the fictional scenario. Focus on actions and choices, rather than labelling a person as “good” or “bad.”

6.Charlotte is annoyed when his friend Leilani spends lunchtime with someone else. He asks to see her messages and says, “If you’re really my friend, you’ll prove you have nothing to hide.” Identify two behaviours that are not respectful of Leilani’s boundaries.

7.Write one calm, clear response Leilani could use to set a boundary. Include what she is not comfortable with.

8.If Leilani feels pressured or unsafe, which is the best next step?

Keep it secret and handle everything alone.
Share her passwords so the disagreement ends.
Talk with a trusted adult, such as a whānau member, school counsellor or another safe adult.
Post private messages online to punish Charlotte.

10.A disagreement does not have to become a fight. Describe two steps people can take to work through one fairly.
