Tonight with your 13 to 17 year old
The prompt
“Was there a moment you picked the harder right thing over the easier wrong one?”
What to listen for
If they share it readily, it means they feel genuinely proud of that choice and want you to know about it, celebrate it plainly, without turning it into a bigger lesson than it needs to be.
If they mention it was tempting to take the easy way, that honesty about temptation is more valuable than a story where it sounded easy, real integrity includes the pull toward the easier path.
If nothing comes to mind, don't worry, you can ask again some other night; this isn't a test they need to pass tonight.
What this tells you
This shows you how their sense of right and wrong is holding up when no one is forcing the choice.
