Contexts when it is appropriate for a child to question their qualities, skills, ideas and opinions

• When choosing to be influenced by what is going on around them
• When choosing to be sensitive to the feedback of others
• When choosing question whether it is appropriate for others to notice, value and respect their qualities, skills, ideas and opinions

For example

• Preparing for exams and accurately self-assessing
• Trying to learn a new skill, and accepting it will be challenging
• Working collaboratively towards a shared goal
• Fitting in with what is going on rather than standing apart
• Accepting rather than challenging a decision
• Being willing to change their mind
• Asking for feedback about ideas before acting on them
• Being self-reflective and looking for ways to continue developing
• Setting realistic aspirations and effortfully working towards them
• Accepting failure and learning from it
• Recognising something is too difficult, and asking for or accepting support
• Listening to advice
• Recognising when they have made an error or mistake and learning from it
