I came across this yesterday and listened to it before I went home from the office - so I tried it last night with my 5 year old daughter. I will never forget what she said! When I asked her what she was proud of today? Her exact words were, "I'm proud that I never came and bugged you when you were on your computer." It killed me - but than she said. "Mommy, are you proud of me?" It was amazing how sincerely she was looking at me looking for my approval. It's amazing how one simple question has fundamentally altered how I will parent my kids. Thank Todd for me - he must be an amazing dad! Completely profound!

Short and sweet, but the message is clear. Amazing that we do not actually think of what our kids did today, or what they look forward to tomorrow, or even what they fear.

I have been using these questions with my girls and it is so fun to hear what they have to say - you see patterns start to form and their own unique and personal interests start to show up in their responses... Thank you so much for sharing these 2 important questions with us! Thank you Todd!

I wish I had asked my kids these questions when they were young. Maybe I will have a chance to introduct this to grandchildren. I really like this thought provoking video.

But, I couldn't think of as good a way to put it as you did. I do think though, that on those occasions when something happened that day that was not so pride inspiring, or perhaps was simply something that needs to be processed through, to clear the way for the positive future, it would be appropriate to frame it in a positive way. Perhaps something like, "What's something you learned from today, that will help you do better in the future?" Sandy,
