I created an original questionnaire format named "Kokoro no Sheet"（“Mind Sheet”）which includes the three well-known questions based on the Naikan method. Working as a school counselor in elementary and middle schools, I have used it with children six times in three years, since December 2006, with impressive and remarkable results. It has helped many of the children understand themselves and their relationships to other people. It has provided them with good opportunities for self-reflection, awareness of their conduct in relation to other people, and feelings of gratitude. All these positive changes will definitely lead to prevention of problem actions such as bullying, improvement of communicative competence, and mental development.
