Inner Compass — Reflecting on Decisions That Matter

Child reflects on a recent decision they made — big or small — and examines whether it was the right choice, what influenced them, and what they would do differently. Parent observes self-reflection, metacognition, the ability to learn from experience, and emotional honesty about mistakes and successes.
