“Tell a family story about getting through a hard time together.”

Why this question

Research on family stories suggests these are the most useful ones a child can carry: things were hard, and we came through them together. Pick one and tell it whole.

Capturing it in voice

• ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
• ·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.
