A trusted adviser once encouraged me to ask my children, “When do you feel special?”

It’s the kind of question that — depending on the answer — could reveal quite a lot.

It can be a challenging question to field if one hasn’t given it much consideration, or if “feeling special” is unfamiliar territory.

Either way, the question is not just useful for children; it’s useful for adults, too.

How about you? When do you feel special?
