Reflection sheet

Things may unfold differently to your expectations, and it is good to be aware of what the plan was.

This can include your behaviour and the behaviour of the other people involved.

List as many things as you can, including the small details.

There may have been several things. You are welcome to list them and then focus on one or two that seem most important

This can include my behaviour, my attitude, my listening and the skills / knowledge I used:

Identify as many feelings as you can along with the strength of the feelings and any reasons you can identify for the feelings.

What were the sensations? Where did you notice them in your body?

What did you notice?

Perhaps you noticed something at the time, or perhaps something is important now.

Can include safety, security, fun, creativity, love, connection, to feel like they matter, growth, to be able to give.

Include what you can take from this reflection that would be helpful for your own parenting

This is an opportunity to explore through the lens of love.

Even if it is just for 5 minutes, this is an opportunity for you to prioritise you.
