What kind of conversations do you have with your kids after you\u2019ve reached a bucket list goal? What does your \u201cdebriefing\u201d look like?
\n\"Chez<\/a>Over Spring Break our family took a few bucket list adventures. Our eldest daughter spent three weeks on a school-sponsored exchange trip to Spain. The rest of us visited the LEGO Discovery Center for the first time. And I worked on a big project preparing for my next bucket list goal.<\/p>\n

As much we enjoyed those adventures, we found the conversations we shared afterwards equally important. We heard stories about the differences between Chicago and the Spanish city of Santiago de Compastela. We talked about why we all agreed that it the LEGO trip would have been better for younger kids. And my family gave me feedback on my progress with my project.\u00a0 We had these conversations not just for the fun of swapping stories (which is a huge part of it), but also because we\u2019ve learned that processing our experiences helps us to appreciate, and deepen, the value of them.<\/p>\n

When it comes to bucket list goals in your family, I hope you take the time to talk about them when you have\u00a0accomplished them. Here are some ways to make the most of your family\u2019s post-adventure chats:<\/p>\n
