A Time to Remember Interview Answers

So I took my children through the interview and they were intrigued as to why we were doing it and what I was going to do with their answers. I told them I would print their answers and put them in our Corona Time capsule or their memory boxes. Once they realized their answers were important to me they were more than happy to answer the 10 questions. My youngest found one or two of the questions difficult but gave answers after I explained and expanded the questions.

In case you didn't see yesterdays post here are the questions again.

Here are my children's answers to the above questions. Each child's answers told me so much about their personalities. It also gave me some idea of how they are feeling, how I can support them and what they are struggling with the most.
