This reflection sheet was adapted to include the emotion cogs in a specialist provision as a useful scaffold for discussing playground incidents and making good choices.

When the young person understands and can make use of the different cog concepts to help them unpack emotional events, having them displayed on the sheet sets the context for each part of the conversation.

This sheet is still a work in progress, and will hopefully become more ‘user friendly’ the more we update it after using it more often and finding its flaws.

We’ll be staying in touch with Ashley and will keep you updated on the progress of the tool.

In the meantime, we’ve adapted it further to make it easier for pupils who aren’t yet using the ‘Influences’ cog to use. We’ve also added some text prompt changes. Download the ‘Adapted Think Sheet’ here
