Questions a parent and child can ask each other, in both directions.
Which fear about the future do you never say out loud?
This deck is for one parent and one child, and it runs in both directions. A parent can ask what their child has learned from them. A child can ask what their parent dreamed of at the same age. Some cards go where families tend not to, such as the disagreement that keeps coming back in new clothes, or the fear about the future nobody says out loud.
It works best with teenagers and adult children, one to one rather than with the whole family. A walk or a drive suits it better than sitting face to face.
