The Ownership & Repair Reflection Card Series has been thoughtfully developed to support children in recognising mistakes, reflecting on their experiences, taking responsibility and exploring meaningful ways to make things right.
Through relatable everyday scenarios and gentle, open-ended reflection prompts, these cards encourage children to explore their thoughts, feelings and choices in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental way.
Rather than focusing on blame or consequences, the cards invite children to develop self-awareness, strengthen problem-solving skills and understand that mistakes can become valuable opportunities for learning and growth.
What do the cards support?
Self-awareness: Recognising feelings, actions and their impact on others.
Reflection: Exploring experiences and considering what can be learned.
Responsibility: Developing an understanding of personal choices and actions.
Repair: Discovering ways to reconnect, make amends and restore relationships.
Resilience: Building confidence to try again and approach challenges with a growth mindset.
Communication: Encouraging meaningful conversations through child-centred reflection.
Who are these cards for?
Designed for use by families, educators, early childhood professionals and therapeutic practitioners, the cards can be incorporated into everyday interactions, individual support sessions, small-group experiences and reflective conversations.
The cards can be used proactively to explore concepts or responsively when children are ready to reflect on an experience.
