The end of the year offers an opportunity to reflect on personal growth. Young people often develop new skills, friendships, and confidence throughout the year.
Adults can guide reflection by asking youth to consider how they have changed since the beginning of the year.
Questions such as “What new skill did you learn?” or “What challenge did you overcome?” help youth recognize progress.
Reflection encourages pride in accomplishments and appreciation for effort.
Child Champions understand that recognizing growth builds confidence. When youth see how far they have come, they feel motivated to continue developing their talents and abilities.
