Personal Growth Over Time
Reflect on your own growth over time — the things that challenge you now are not fixed, and noticing how you have already changed builds genuine self-knowledge
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Personal Growth Over Time means noticing personal growth over time and that current challenges are not fixed. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Then/now growth cards
- Challenge-is-not-fixed reminder card
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Riding a bike or reading longer books may have been hard before and easier now. Challenges can change with practice and support.
Optional challenge. For Personal Growth Over Time, add “challenges are not fixed.”
What to notice. Keep one parent note: growth named; support used. This session samples self-knowledge, not mastery of development theory.
