Tonight with your 5 to 8 year old
The prompt
“If you could pick one family photo to print big and hang on the wall, which moment would it be?”
What to listen for
If they pick a moment full of joy or silliness, that shows what kind of memories feel most important and worth keeping close to them.
If they pick a moment with a specific person, that's a gentle clue about who they feel especially connected to right now.
If they can't think of a real photo, ask them to describe a moment they wish had been photographed.
What this tells you
The photo they choose shows which memory currently makes them feel most proud and most connected to the family.
