Reflection helps youth understand what they learned during an activity and how they can apply that knowledge in the future. Taking time to review experiences strengthens understanding and encourages thoughtful learning.
Adults can guide reflection by asking questions such as “What did you learn?” or “What would you do differently next time?”
These conversations help youth recognize both successes and areas for improvement.
Reflection also helps youth connect learning experiences to real-life situations.
Child Champions understand that learning deepens when youth take time to reflect. By encouraging thoughtful discussion after activities, adults help young people strengthen understanding and build confidence in their skills.
