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

Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Use repeated fictional observations to choose a specific, respectful relationship goal.
Invite the learner to describe a respectful way to ask for a turn. Do not require real friendship names or conflicts.
Check learner readiness separately; the existence of a prerequisite lesson is not evidence of attainment.
Use the three-entry fictional log and goal card. Personal substitution is optional and private; keep only the work the learner chooses to share.
Record actual responses, assistance and access mode; never invent observations or infer mastery.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Fictional logs support analysis, not evidence about the learner's real friendship patterns. Social goals are voluntary and may need communication accommodations.
Record actual responses, assistance and access mode; never invent observations or infer mastery.

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?”
