Boundaries
Boundaries |
The left hand side of each picture always represents how things are currently and the right hand side how I want them to be. Presumably I wanted my boundaries to be more consistent.

Qualities needed for a chosen job
Before drawing the picture we discussed what would be needed for our chosen job. I chose Child Care as my job and we came up with the following personal qualities (left column) and other prerequisites (right column). I had to circle the qualities I wanted to work on then draw them.
Authority & Patience |
Although I haven't worked in child care, my experience of looking after my nephews, performing puppet shows in primary schools and leading children and youth in scouting has shown me that I need to show more authority.
Qualities I don't have at their best yet
I am on the left. The child is on the right. In response to them mucking around I have joined in as though I am their friend.
The child is still mucking around but I want them to behave. I don't feel like I can tell them to behave when I've become friends with them.
The child's behaviour has become increasingly worse. I don't feel like I can tell them to behave because I'm scared of them.
Qualities as I want them to be
I am on the left. The child is on the right. In response to them mucking around I have told them that their behaviour is inappropriate.
I am able to talk with the child because they understand that I am not a friend who mucks around with them but someone they respect. I am there to listen to them and support them.
The child and I are able to responsibly have fun.
I'm not entirely sure where patience fitted in but it could be that if I am patient in earning the respect of the child, I will be able to show authority.
i had no patience wed lol
