Big feelings & harder seasons
“What big feeling do they seem to struggle most with — and what does that teach you about them?”
Why this question
Not a criticism. Curiosity about their emotional shape.
Capturing it in voice
- ·Thirty seconds is plenty. A short answer you actually record beats a long one you keep meaning to.
- ·Say the date and their age out loud at the start. In ten years that one detail will do half the work.
- ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
