Purpose of “Watch Me Bloom” Therapeutic Activity

Encourage Goal Setting.
At the center of the flower, students write a personal, academic, emotional, or social goal they want to achieve.
This helps them focus their intentions and take ownership of their growth.

Foster Self-Reflection and Planning - Each petal represents a specific action, behavior, or mindset that will help the student achieve their central goal.
This breaks down the goal into manageable steps, encouraging reflection on what success looks like and how to get there.

Promote Emotional Growth and Resilience - The blooming flower symbolizes personal development, resilience, and the natural process of growth.

Students visually see how their efforts (petals) contribute to their overall progress (flower).

Enhance Motivation and Confidence - The visual and symbolic nature of the flower makes the process creative and engaging, boosting motivation.

Recognising the steps they already taken can build confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

Support Therapeutic Conversations - Teachers, counselors, or facilitators can use the flower to initiate discussions about challenges, supports, and progress.

It provides a non-threatening and structured format for students to share and reflect.
