How a birthday interview for kids becomes a family tradition
The five questions change with each age and match the stage your child is in, from first words and giggles at one to what growing into an adult means at eighteen. For ages 1 to 3 a grown-up fills in the answers about the child, which means the tradition can begin on the very first birthday.
You write the year in by hand, so it does not matter when you begin. The interview log and the how I've grown table show every birthday side by side. Collect the pages in a binder and hand the finished keepsake to your child on their 18th birthday, along with a letter from you.
