Card 1 of 3: In one line
Children show you who they are long before they tell you. The hours they lose track of. The conversations they bring up unprompted. The work they volunteer for.
Three exercises for the month before stream selection: log the activities they choose on a free Sunday, log the questions they ask without being asked back, and log the YouTube rabbit holes they go down.
Hand the log to the Dheya mentor at the first session. It is more useful than any school report card.
