So, here’s a fun idea—record a ‘Make Your Own’ Card asking your kids these questions:
1) What do you want to be when you grow up?
2) Why do you want to be a _____?
3) What do you think your day would look like as a _____?
4) Why do you think you’d make a good ____?
5) If you weren’t a ______ what else would you want to do?
6) Who inspires you?
