Tonight with your 13 to 17 year old

The prompt

“Is there a dream you have that actually scares you a little, just because it matters so much to you?”

What to listen for

Naming something that feels vulnerable to admit, even shakily, shows real trust that you won't laugh it off or make it feel silly, and that they're brave enough to want something big even with the risk of not getting there.

If they mention the fear of not being good enough for it, gently affirm the wanting itself rather than rushing to reassure them they'll definitely succeed, the goal right now is just making space for the dream to exist out loud.

If they deflect with a joke, that's often armor around something real, you can let the moment pass without pressing, it may come back around another night.

What this tells you

A dream that scares them shows how much they're willing to risk wanting something fully, which is a sign of real hope, not fragility.

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