Tonight with your 9 to 12 year old

The prompt

“Who's a friend you made somewhere you really didn't expect to make one?”

What to listen for

Stories like this often reveal a kid who's more open and curious about people than they get credit for, noticing that connections can come from anywhere is a healthy, flexible way to see the world.

Listen for how they describe the moment they connected, a shared laugh, a shared interest, helping each other, since that detail shows what actually draws them to people.

If they say all their friends came from predictable places (school, family friends), that's fine too, you might ask if there's anywhere they wish they could meet new people.

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