CHOOSE ONE:

1. Kenny says he likes it when his dad talks to him like he’s a grown-up. Have any adults ever spoken to you this way? If not, do you wish they would? If yes, what was the talk about? Did you like being talked to this way? Why or why not? 

2. Kenny thinks the idea of being a grown-up is scary sometimes. Do you agree? Why or why not? Do you ever wonder how you’ll know what to do when you’re a grown-up? What part of being a grown-up scares you the most? What part do you think will be easiest?
