Tonight with your 13 to 17 year old

The prompt

“If failing wasn't even a possibility, what's something you'd try?”

What to listen for

A big, bold answer means this is a teen with real appetite for their own future, and what they need most is to feel like someone believes they could actually pull it off. Match their energy, don't immediately list logistics or cost.

A smaller or more cautious answer isn't a lesser one, it might mean they're being realistic, or it might mean fear of failing has already shrunk what they let themselves want. Either way, the goal tonight is just to make wanting things feel safe, not to evaluate the plan.

If they can't think of anything, that's worth noting softly, it may mean they haven't felt free enough lately to daydream. No pressure to answer on the spot.

What this tells you

The size and shape of their answer shows you whether they currently feel free to dream big or like they've already boxed themselves in to avoid disappointment.

And from those same words comes their song, properly produced, with their names sung in it. This is another family's:
