The work deals with and is based on a particularly interesting topic that concerns and relates to the entire contemporary society. It is about the concept of reflection and its consequences. The fact is that man is an intellectual and thinking being, and it is in his nature to think about different activities, processes, and his decisions, which affect both himself and others around him. For this reason, it is extremely important that each individual works on himself, but also on his relationship with others, especially when it comes to people who pass on their knowledge to children. First of all, we mean educators who strongly influence children with their work and behavior. As experts, they need to develop professionally, but also personally. Only in this way can reflection, i.e. self reflection, achieve its goal. It is precisely one of the foundations of the educator-child relationship. The first part of the paper refers to the theoretical aspect of (self) reflection, and the central part of the paper focuses on reflection in the work of educators. Finally, the models of that stage of reflective practice are highlighted with a concrete example. Throughout the work, the focus is on reflection, a concept that has been present in society since the very beginning of humanity, but nowadays it is even more relevant due to the complexity of relationships between different generations, as well as the modern way of life and work, which requires a quick and high-quality reaction at a certain moment.
