Since this is a reflective worksheet about personal feelings, there is no single "correct" answer like in math. However, I will provide a
sample completed worksheet based on a common situation students face. You can use this as an example to help you write your own answers.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to fill it out using a realistic scenario:
Getting angry because a sibling took your toy without asking.
Step 1: What made me feel angry?
Think about the specific event. Was it something someone said? Did someone take something? Did you lose a game?
* *Sample Answer:* My little brother took my video game controller while I was playing and wouldn't give it back.
Step 2: How did I handle it?
Be honest about what you actually did. Did you yell? Hit? Slam a door? Or did you walk away?
* *Sample Answer:* I yelled at him really loudly and pushed him away from the couch.
Step 3: What was my consequence?
What happened after you handled it that way? Did you get in trouble? Did your friend stop talking to you? Did you feel worse?
* *Sample Answer:* My mom heard the yelling and took away my video games for the rest of the day. My brother started crying.
Step 4: How could I have handled this better?
Think of a calm way to solve the problem. Could you have used words? Taken deep breaths? Asked an adult for help?
* *Sample Answer:* I could have taken three deep breaths to calm down first. Then, I could have calmly asked him to give it back or told my mom he was taking it.
Step 5: What would have happened if I handled it this way?
Imagine the positive outcome of the better choice.
* *Sample Answer:* My mom might have helped me get the controller back without yelling. I probably wouldn't have lost my video game privileges, and my brother wouldn't have been upset.
