Personal & Social Development›Self-Awareness|Ages 5—10|ID: mt_H4YZ1rSKP3

Know and use the vocabulary of self-reflection — self-awareness, reflect, pattern, trigger, assumption, impact, perspective, and notice — and understand that having precise words for these inner experiences makes them easier to understand and talk about

Mastery Evidence

  • Use words like 'reflect', 'pattern', and 'trigger' accurately when describing their own behaviour — e.g. 'I notice a pattern: I get frustrated when I rush'
  • Explain what 'self-awareness' means in their own words and give a personal example
  • Use the word 'perspective' correctly — e.g. 'From my perspective it felt unfair, but I can see theirs too'

Assessment Prompt

“After a difficult moment — a falling-out with a friend or a frustrating task — can [child] talk about what happened using words like 'trigger' or 'reflect', showing they're thinking about their own reactions rather than just what the other person did?”
