We had our one day training day and have been asked to write our reflections about how it went.
I have three questions for you lovely helpful people.
Q1. Do we have to write one each or one together?
Q2. How the hell do I write it?
Q3. What sort of thing do I need to put in it?

Thanks for any help and advice Grin

I've never done this so I'm just guessing

I would write about what I found particularly interesting or informative, what information was new , what you found challenging , what you will need to think about /discuss further, either with each other or with your SW, what you are going to research/ read up more on /other follow up action , how it has changed your thinking /broadened your views about adoption

If you write one document, I would put individual sections too ie what you each most enjoyed /found challenging about the day

Basically they want to know that you have learned stuff, taken it in and processed it, thought about what it means for you as a couple and as individuals

What Kristina said Smile

I would write one, as it shows you are talking to each other.

Thank you both for your kelp.
KristinaM you have given me lots to think about and have been extremely helpful.
UnderTheNameOfSanders I like the idea of writing it like we are talking to each other that way it will show what we have both learnt.
Thanks again. Thanks and Cake for you Smile

Ha! Spot the single adopter because my first reaction was "Of course you write one each, you're not the same person and presumably you thought different things"!

At ours, the couples were told they had to write one each - I would ask! I'm afraid I just worked through the timetable of sessions in order and wrote something about how each one had made me think and feel. Not awfully spontaneous or creative, but it got the job done!

I would say one each... Write them separately and then compare... This shows up similar or different thinking and gives you more opportunity to discuss any differences and gain a better understanding of where each of you are...

Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. It helped loads.
