Letters to you, and what I'm learning

“What's been the hardest part of this season of parenting for you personally?”

Why this question

Be honest with yourself, not just about them. What has stretched you, or bent you a little.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
  • ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
  • ·Record it on an ordinary day — the background noise of your kitchen is part of the keepsake.

More from Letters to you, and what I'm learning

“What do you want them to know about how much they are loved — in as specific a way as you can manage?”

“A letter for a day when things are hard.”

“A letter to them about a time in your own life you've never told them about.”

Want to keep the answer in their voice?

One day you’ll want to hear this answer, not just read it. Ask the question tonight and record what comes back — thirty seconds at the foot of the bed is enough.
