The thing that surprised me most about how others evaluated
me is that I seemed to be harder on myself than they were when answering the questions.
For the most part, I ended up in similar groups when evaluated by others and myself.
I think that this surprised me because I tend to be harder on myself than others
tend to be.
This week, I learned that we communicate by how we perceive things.
In order to avoid a negative communication encounter, we must be aware of how
we perceive things, ourselves and the people that we communicate with. In the early childhood field, it is important to be aware of these things in order to have effective communication.
Christina,
ReplyDeleteI also found that I was a lot harder on myself in most areas - I think this is probably true in most areas of life. We tend to be harder on ourselves than we need to be. This isn't always a bad thing... I think that it challenges us to be better people, don't you?
