Kids grow up fast. One day they're playing with plastic dinosaurs, the next they're asking for the car keys.
And amidst all the hustle and bustle of daily life – school, sports, dinners, homework – it's easy to forget to stop and really listen to who they are becoming.
Their dreams, their fears, the things that make them laugh, what makes them unique... all of this deserves to be captured, before those moments slip away forever.
Here are 10 questions to ask your child today, to really get to know them and create memories that will last forever.
1. If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be?
This question opens a window into their heroes and aspirations. Maybe they want to be an astronaut, a famous singer, or simply... you. The answer will tell you a lot about what they admire and who they want to become.
2. What is your happiest memory?
Children have a special way of remembering things. Perhaps their fondest memory is that time in the park, or when you baked cookies together. Discovering what they hold dear will help you understand what truly matters to them.
3. What are you most proud of?
Whether it's learning to ride a bike, winning a race, or making a new friend, this question celebrates their achievements and boosts their self-esteem.
4. What scares you?
Children have real fears, even if they seem small to us. Talking about them openly creates a safe space where they can share their worries and feel understood.
5. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
This is a fun question that reveals a lot. Do they want to fly? Become invisible? Talk to animals? Each superpower tells you something about their deepest desires.
6. Who is the most important person to you?
The answer might surprise you. They might say "mom" or "dad," but they could also name a friend, a teacher, or even a pet. It all reveals what "important" means to them.
7. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Children's dreams are constantly changing, and that's beautiful. Today they want to be veterinarians, tomorrow chefs. Documenting these dreams creates a map of their growth journey.
8. What's the most fun thing we've done together?
This question not only helps you discover their favorite moments, but it also reminds you to create more of those moments. Because these are the ones they'll remember forever.
9. If you could change one thing in the world, what would you change?
Children have a pure view of the world. Their responses – whether it's "more ice cream for everyone" or "no more wars" – reveal their hearts and values.
10. What would you like me to know about you?
This is perhaps the most important question. It gives them the space to share something they may have been keeping inside, something important they want you to know.
Why Ask These Questions?
Asking these questions isn't just about getting to know your child better. It's about creating a moment of connection, showing them that their voice matters, that their thoughts are important.
And these conversations become precious memories – for you and for them.
Capture These Moments Forever
A beautiful way to celebrate who your child is today is through a personalized portrait. Transform their photo into a work of art that represents their dreams: whether it's a superhero, a princess, a pilot, or an explorer.
Because childhood passes quickly, but memories can last forever.
