What a reflection reads like

Monday's reflection idea, as a child of 8 to 12 might get it. Adults get the same reflection idea written for their own life.

Example: for a child, 8 to 12

You and a friend both want to pick what to play. Lots of kids just argue louder. Try saying what they want first: "You want soccer because it's sunny." Then your friend usually listens back.

Think about it: Will you decide right now to listen first if you don't agree with someone today?
