What Is a Relationship?

Definition

Examples

Family, friendship, teachers, classmates, neighbours.

A relationship is the way two or more people are connected or behave towards each other.

Types of Relationships

You have different relationships with family, friends, classmates, and adults. Each relationship is unique.

Behaving Respectfully

Different Behaviours

You act differently with a friend than with a teacher. For example, you might greet a friend with a high-five but speak more formally to a teacher.

Respect in Relationships

Show respect by listening, being polite, and using kind words.

Why Behaviour Matters

Using the right behaviour helps everyone feel safe and happy in their relationships.

Matching Behaviour to Relationship

Think about how you greet, talk to, and share things with family, friends, and teachers. Each group needs different behaviours to show respect.

Reflect: Your Relationships

Choose one relationship in your life. How do you show respect in it? What behaviour is important?
