Beauty as a Clue: Helping Kids Discover Who They Are
What if asking your kid one simple question could unlock a powerful insight into who they are becoming?
In this episode, Scott Schimmel explores one of the 30 Critical Questions every kid needs to answer to build a meaningful life: "What’s beautiful to you?"
It might sound like a question better suited for a dating app or poetry night—but trust us, it’s a game-changer.
Scott breaks down why this question goes way beyond preferences—and instead, helps kids:
-
Tap into their core values 🧭
-
Explore their emerging identity 🌱
-
Connect with what gives them meaning 💡
You’ll hear how a single response like “being listened to without judgment” can crack open conversations about purpose, relationships, and even career paths. (Yes, really.)
👂 PLUS: Learn how to ask your kid this question in a way that actually sparks reflection instead of an eye-roll. And why it’s worth asking more than once.
📌 Whether you're a parent, educator, or coach—this is a practical way to build connection and guide kids toward a life that’s not just successful, but meaningful.
🎧 Listen. Reflect. Ask a kid: “What’s beautiful to you?” Then ask it again in a month.
