He strategy would be to take each child, or even a group of them, and question them about things such as their future, their love lives, or maybe there families income. For 7 year old boys and girls, they were able to answer the questions with a fair amount of maturity.

The one that wanted to be an astronaut now realizes that it wasn't a realistic possibility, the ones that really disliked girls have crushes, and they have gone from bit sized to nearly full fledged adults.
