Giving and Receiving Feedback
Give and receive constructive feedback — telling someone what they did well and what could be improved in a way that is helpful rather than hurtful, and receiving feedback about their own work without becoming defensive
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Giving and Receiving Feedback means practising helpful feedback (well + improve) and receiving it without shutting down. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Cards: what went well, what to improve, helpful not hurtful, receive without defensiveness
- Feedback sentence frames
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Say what went well and one improvement kindly. When receiving feedback, listen without jumping to defence.
Optional challenge. For Giving and Receiving Feedback, add non-defensive receiving.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: give/receive tried; support used. This session samples feedback, not mastery of coaching.

Check understanding
- Give feedback that includes both a specific positive point and a constructive suggestion
- Receive feedback about their own work without getting upset or dismissive
- Explain why constructive feedback helps people improve
“If your child reviews a classmate's story and finds mistakes, can they give feedback that's helpful — like 'I loved this part, and this bit could be clearer' — rather than just saying 'it's wrong'?”
