In response to Good Points posted by LauriePK:
One way to encourage introspection is by teaching it to kids, both at home and at school -- in every day happenings, not necessarily as a separate subject. It can be woven into almost any experience!
When my son was in grade school, the school had a model it used in addressing problems--behavioral or general. Children were encouraged to first think about the choices they had made, and how these choices has brought about a particular outcome. They were then encouraged to think about what kind of choice they might want to make in the future to produce a different outcome.
This way of addressing the issues leads away from blame-fixing and creates an anmosphere more conducive to collaborative effort.
But it's also good to take a step back sometimes, and just accept that's the way you feel or acted, without analyzing it.
I agree--its not always necessary to rummage around in all the why's. Sometimes its better to just accept it, learn from it, and move on.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
