At the end of each year and before the beginning of the next, it is common to want to take a look at what happened. By doing this, we can start the new year with a fresh mind, good mood, creativity and innovative ideas that will help us achieve our goals!
It is undoubtedly a different activity that you can try with your children in the coming days. You can try it with younger or older children and in different ways. For example, you can write or paint your thoughts on the year that passed. It is definitely an activity that you can customize as you prefer!
Benefits of a reflective look to children
An account can work positively for our children in many ways.
An important aspect is the achievement of their goals. Taking a peek at what they have achieved in a year will give them the inspiration they need to overcome their creative limits!
Another important factor is the value of the effort. As assistants in this activity, if we see that they are blocked on trying to find positive things, we can help them by highlighting moments when they tried for something. Thus, they will learn how important it is to try over and over, recognizing the energy they put into their goals.
In addition, taking a look at the past year, we can identify with them some behaviors or tactics that can change. Thus, by detecting changes they will be able to use them as guides for the new year. At this point we should act as guides so that the kids can identify on their own and with their judgment what they want to change.
Of course, all this must be answers in questions that we ask ourselves! That is why it is a very adaptable activity since we can make it as we want based on our needs and preferences.
Some ideas for reflection
We can do this activity just with pencil and paper. But if we want to become even more creative with our special activity we can use colors and drawings. For example, a colored scale could be a way to score the last year.
On the other hand, we can use stickers to evaluate the past year, to set our goals, to answer our questions!
