Ask them what they think about stuff. Listen to their answers. If you disagree, disagree respectfully and gently. If you're going to assume, assume up. This girl, say, builds fantastic machines in her room and wants to be a physicist, and that one is going to be prime minister, and that boy is going to cure cancer someday. The old woman is a retired professor, and her friend is a renowned storyteller. When you've been around for awhile, ask the kids for help with something. It's very empowering, to be asked for help. If you find out someone has a particular talent for something, ask them for help with THAT. Approach them one-on-one, and not like you’re recruiting for something.
