This is how we grow – self reflection learning to self discovery. Each week we reflect in many different ways. Often the doubts are raised ‘kids will rate 10 only’. But we have seen days after days that there is sincerity and truthfulness…they may not assess the way we look at them, they assess the way they look at themselves.And its not always 10/10 🙂
Beauty of self assessment allows one to discover and accept. Also it allows me a facilitator to understand what is going behind, many times my true learning happens about them when I connect with their reflections.No wonder I love weekly documentation and look forward for my learning and my growth as facilitator.
And yes the late night coffee and milk after documentation comes as a bonus for many of us 🙂

I was conducting sunshine so I felt nice that I learnt more fitness. I should not waste food, first I should little in plate, taste it and then take again. But I should leave for others also. In helpmates I learnt that how others feel when I am doing this kind of behavior like taking more food and not leaving for others. In quiz I learnt many kinds of new new questions. Quiz is helping me to learn more about new new subjects for me. I feel sad that they are telling me only me to I taking more food, using bad words, taking other stuff, not asking and touching other’s things.
