Something funny happens when you roll this out on the kitchen table. The questions are already there, printed right in the border. You don't have to think of what to say. You just color.
Drive Your Own Way is a 2-foot by 5-foot coloring sheet full of monster trucks: loud, custom-built, and completely different from each other. That's the whole point. The questions in the border use the trucks as a jumping-off point for conversations about peer pressure, being different, and what it actually means to be strong.
It's for the kid who gets told they're too much, or not enough, or just different from everyone else in a way that doesn't feel like a compliment yet. Monster trucks are loud and they take up space and they're built for it. So is your kid.
Some of the questions in the border:
If you were a monster truck, what color would you be and what would make you unique? What's a time you had to drive your own way instead of following everyone else? What does it feel like when you get to be totally yourself? Everyone has a pit crew. Who's in yours?
No prep. No wrong answers. Just a big piece of paper and whatever comes up.
