Try answering the questions yourself first, then ask your child. The results may surprise you. Some of the questions can be adapted/changed/ignored for younger children

Are they happy? What is his/her state of mind?

What is his/her favorite colour?

What is his/her favorite subject?

Who do they go to for help or advice outside the family?

Name his/her favourite band?

What is his/her greatest fear?

What does he/her want to do as a job?

What nickname is your child called at school or by friends?

What was the last book your child read?

Who is your child's hero?

What does he or she like doing most with the family?

Name one thing you know your child is proud of?

What does your child like about his/her family?

What is one thing your child would like to change about him/herself?

Name your child's favourite meal?

What does your child dislike being criticised about the most?

How would your child describe you?

Good point Sunny, i'll adapt the age thing. I dident really expect anyone to answer the questions here, more at home & that may result in a discussion about it here. We all think we know our kids so well & yet most people will get at least a few of those questions wrong when they ask their child.

You said your kids are pretty fearless but i'd bet if you go & ask them what they are scared of they will say something like the dark or spiders. There will be something.
