Tonight with your 5 to 8 year old
The prompt
“If there were a whole city floating up in the clouds, what would it definitely need to have?”
What to listen for
If they include fun rides, games, or sweets, that's playful imagination stretching freely, a sign they feel free enough to dream without limits.
If they include things like a place for family, pets, or friends to live too, that shows even in fantasy, connection and togetherness are what make a place feel complete to them.
If they say "I don't know," ask what they'd want to see first when they floated up there.
What this tells you
What they insist the cloud city needs shows what ingredients they think make any place feel like home.
