What Gets to Me, What Gets to You - Understanding Each Other - Social Skills Activity (PDF Download)

What Gets to Me, What Gets to You

🤝 Two brains. Two perspectives. One powerful reflection.
Format: PDF only (instant download)

This collaborative activity invites two people - siblings, peers, parent and child, student and support worker - to reflect on what triggers their emotional or behavioural challenges. Together, they compare what sets them off, what helps, and what doesn’t - building empathy, self-awareness, and co-regulation skills along the way.

✨ What’s Inside:
✔️ Step 1: Each person identifies tricky moments or antecedent events that challenge them
✔️ Step 2: Explore what makes those moments better or worse
✔️ Step 3: Put it all together - build a visual map that compares and contrasts both people’s experiences

✨ Perfect for:
✔️ Strengthening sibling or peer relationships
✔️ Supporting neurodivergent learners in home or classroom environments
✔️ Deepening emotional insight for parents, educators, and therapists
✔️ Collaborative problem-solving and relationship repair

Whether you’re a parent trying to understand your child, or a teacher helping two students learn from each other - this tool makes “what sets us off” a shared learning experience instead of a solo struggle.
