The Two Worded Question · Ethos FC: Character Comes 1st

The Two Worded Question

Try this before your next session or car journey 🙌🏻

Here’s something small worth trying this week: pick one child, ideally one who doesn’t say much and ask them “you good?” Not as a throwaway greeting on the way past. Actually stop, wait for the answer, and look at them while they give it.

That’s it. That’s Trust in practice. Not a big gesture, not a team talk about feelings just one adult noticing one kid on an ordinary day when nothing’s going wrong.

Kids don’t trust adults because of what we say when things are serious. They trust us because of what we notice when they’re not.

Try it this week, then come back and tell us:

• Who did you ask, and what did they actually say?

• Did anything surprise you about their answer, or how they reacted to being asked?
