Did I Make a Mistake? – A Reflective Sorting Tool for Kids
🌀 Helping children make sense of their actions, intentions, and feelings
Format: PDF only (instant download)

This activity guides children through a gentle process of figuring out whether something they did was actually a mistake - or if it just felt like one. Using visual prompts, sorting options, and reflective questions, it supports emotional regulation, self-compassion, and clearer thinking in moments of confusion or regret.

✨ What’s Included:
✔️ A visual decision map for sorting through an event
✔️ Prompts exploring intention, impact, and interpretation
✔️ Scenarios to help practice differentiating between accidents, misunderstandings, and true mistakes
✔️ Reflection space for exploring how to repair or move forward (if needed)

✨ Perfect for:
✔️ Children who ruminate, over-apologise, or feel anxious after social situations
✔️ Neurodivergent learners who struggle with black-and-white thinking
✔️ Building social-emotional awareness and self-advocacy
✔️ Therapy, home, or classroom use

This isn’t about judgment - it’s about giving kids the language, clarity, and confidence to say, “Here’s what really happened... and here’s what I can do next.”
