Healthy Kid, Happy Mom

Driscoll’s Reflection Model is a valuable framework that I found helpful in deepening my understanding of personal and professional experiences, especially when it comes to parenting and child health. The model encourages you to think about an experience through three key stages: What? So What? Now What? In practice, I use this model to reflect on how natural nutrition choices impact my child’s well-being and my overall happiness as a mom. First, I consider ‘What?’ — identifying specific moments or decisions about the foods we eat and how they influence energy levels and mood. Then, with ‘So What?’ I analyze what these effects mean for my child’s growth and our family’s lifestyle. Finally, ‘Now What?’ helps me plan improvements or changes, such as incorporating more whole foods or adjusting mealtime routines. Using Driscoll’s Reflection Model keeps me mindful and proactive about health, helping me nurture a happy and vibrant life for my child, while also supporting my own wellness journey as a mom.
