A Fun Mom & Daughter Connection Question

When I was a middle school teacher I set aside the last hour of every Friday to have a community circle. The whole class would circle up and we would start with a fun get-to-know-you question before moving on to a “bigger topic.” 

This was one of my favorite questions to ask…

“If you could give yourself a different name, what would it be?” OR “If you had your own kid, what would you name them?”

Our favorite names often have a story behind them and it can be a fun insight into someone else’s mind. I also love this question because you could ask it in different seasons of life and hear what changes (or what doesn’t)!

In my mom & daughter puberty course, each module ends with a fun non-puberty-related discussion question because I believe even simple questions like this can build trust and understanding - something needed in large amounts during the preteen and teenage years.
