Ideas for possible discussion questions: 

● What did you find out? How did it feel to achieve your first step? 

● What were you feeling? 

● How might you feel when you achieve the long term goal? 

● What did you enjoy most about interviewing?” 

● What was it like to hear your strengths named? 

● How did linking strengths to a goal shift your thinking?

This is a prime example of how things can be invisible yet in plain sight. Whether its our child’s strengths, or what our child is communicating, not through their words, but their actions. 

There are things that our children are communicating and we need to be careful that they are not invisible in plain sight”
