Hi,
Please give me your thoughts on the following:

I went into work today and found a lovely card and box of choccies waiting for me, from a grateful client. You can see the story about relating to this client in my blog here. (Her's was the second birth in that entry.)

The problem is, although it was my student that had "hands-on" for the delivery (and she did a great job, considering how early she is in her training) she is not mentioned at all in the card. The lovely message in the card states only how much the woman appreciated my support. She says "You were brilliant".

So, do I show my student the card and share the choccies with her, or not? I feel I want to share the choccies, but don't want her to feel hurt / disappointed by the lack of recognition on the card for her part in supporting the woman during labour and childbirth.

How would you feel if this happened to your mentor....? Or, if this card had been sent to you, what would you do....?
