[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a very unfair question to ask a child. Either they're going to inflate their answer because they don't want to hurt your feelings, or they're going to be honest and hurt your feelings. No one is an A+. This whole thing is about getting validation that puts the child in a very uncomfortable place. Asking your child "what were some things about your childhood you wish were different?" would be a much more welcoming question. This whole thing gives me the ick.

I can also have an opportunity to discuss where I was coming from. Maybe something can resonate with their kids. Maybe I’ll have a chance to say ‘I did tjis, but don’t do it with your kids, bc …)[/quote]
