Tonight with your 13 to 17 year old

The prompt

“Has being misunderstood ever bothered you more than actually being wrong about something?”

What to listen for

If they say yes and can explain why, they care deeply about being truly known and having their intentions understood, not just their actions judged, a sign they need people to see the whole picture, not a snapshot.

If they say being wrong bothers them more, that suggests they hold themselves to a high internal standard, worth acknowledging that self-accountability without adding more pressure on top of it.

A specific memory that comes up, even a small one, is worth just listening to fully rather than trying to resolve it now.

What this tells you

Whether misunderstanding stings more than being wrong shows you how much they need to feel truly known versus simply judged fairly.
