SELF-OBSERVATION

Directions: Watch the clip and note your own feelings. Write down a self-reflection of what went on inside you as you watched the clip. (You can record your observation in the space provided in the Caregiver's Companion that accompanies your textbook.) The point is that observations should be objective, and feelings can get in the way of objectivity. By becoming aware of your reactions and by writing them down, you can then consciously put your feelings aside, and write objective descriptions and interpretations.
