Early interventionists, educators, and other practitioners guide families in reflection of their feelings, practices, interactions, and perspectives on their child. Use these tips for guiding reflection and check out this resource from challengingbehavior.org for prompts on questions that promote reflection!

Tips for Guiding Reflection
► Use open-ended questions to encourage more in-depth responses
► Use a picture or video to support reflection
► Allow wait time for families to respond
► Rephrase questions as needed to support caregivers’ understanding
of content
► Use questions to help caregivers think about how the information or
strategies shared match their priorities, understanding, viewpoints, or ideas
► Be flexible with ways families can share their reflections (e.g., journal,
email, voice recorder)
► Invite families to take time to reflect with other important people in the
child’s life
► Start small; think of one area of focus to reflect on at a time
