Questions to ask
Questions to ask your child
We ask our children about homework and dinner and rarely about who they are becoming. Whether yours is small or fully grown, there is a person in there with thoughts and fears and dreams they would tell you if you asked the right way.
Ask, and listen without fixing. Record it now and then, and you will have their voice at each age, a treasure that gets more precious every single year.

My child is very young. Is this worth it?+
It is one of the most moving things you can keep. A child's answers at five, ten, and fifteen, in their own voice, become priceless as they grow up and change.
What if my child is already grown?+
It still matters. Adult children rarely get asked these questions by a parent, and the conversation, and the recording, can be a gift to you both.
How do I save their answers over the years?+
Shtello Legacy keeps every recording, so you can capture your child at each age and keep them all in one place. Free to start.
