Self-Reflection in Relationships
Reflect on their own role and behaviour in relationships — recognising patterns in how they interact with others, understanding what they contribute to friendships, and identifying areas where they could improve as a friend or team member
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Self-Reflection in Relationships means reflecting on your own patterns, contributions, and one improvement as a friend or teammate. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Reflection prompts: my pattern / I contribute / I could improve
- Friendship scenario cards
Extra for the adult
Worked example. I notice how I usually act with friends. I contribute kindness. I could improve by listening more.
Optional challenge. For Self-Reflection in Relationships, name pattern + improvement.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: reflection shared; support used. This session samples relationship reflection, not mastery of counselling.

Check understanding
- Identify a pattern in their own social behaviour, such as always wanting to lead or avoiding confrontation
- Describe what they do well in relationships and one area they'd like to improve
- Set a specific social goal, such as 'I will ask others for their ideas before sharing mine'
“Can your child honestly reflect on their friendships and say something like 'I think I sometimes take over in group work and I'm trying to listen more' — showing awareness of their own social patterns?”
