Encroachment In A Relationship
Encroachment. That's a football term, right? One team is offside and the referee throws the flag
for a five yard penalty. That may be true, but in the world of bullying and relationships, it also
has dramatic meaning, with penalties and consequences as well. Here is the definition: to take
another's possessions or rights gradually or stealthily, or to advance beyond proper or former
limits. I have spoken about boundaries and limits before and how young children need to learn
how to say, "Stop. Knock it off," and slowly develop the courage to throw the flag and make the
bully aware that they encroached on their space. As kids grow older, they enter into another
world that involves boy/girl relationships and where problems with dating often occur. Our
children need to learn at an early age that just because they like or are attracted to someone of the
opposite/same sex, it doesn't mean that they like or are attracted to them. A relationship between
two parties grows out of a quality friendship first. For anyone to try and shoehorn themselves
into a relationship that is unwanted is harassment, intimidation, and bullying. Teach your
students now to throw the red flag if they believe someone is trying to encroach on their space.
