Book excerpt: You: "How was your day?" Your child: "Fine." As a parent, you want to know what is going on in your child's life, how school and friendships are going, if they're feeling okay. As a kid you want to tell your parent what's going on, but it can be hard to find the words. This book is brilliant because it makes finding those words easy, and you discover incredible stuff about each other. How exactly do you make it happen? This accessible guide answers the million-dollar question by steering you, step by step through carefully supported and structured conversational platforms that encourage connection and strengthen relationship bonds. Written by two top clinical psychologists who have worked with families over many years they have, uniquely, designed it for you to read and experience, together. Inside this book you will find a range of fun, illustrated child-friendly conversation activities, organised around four key themes: who are you? how are you? what helps? what gets in the way? There is powerful evidence that building good parent-child communication skills improves emotional wellbeing, physical health, academic and employment success. It helps set up a trusting relationship so you can navigate adolescence and later life successfully. It's important to start early because it takes time to learn skills.

Download or read book 200 Conversation Starters for Kids and Parents written by Them Kids. This book was released on 2019-08-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Put away your phone and get to know your family. We are bringing intentional parenting to the table, the dinner table that is. Don't touch your smart phone for 20 minutes and have a conversation with your kids. Your smart phone will be waiting for you after dinner. Social media will always be there later. Your kids though, time with your children is precious. Babies grow too quick and the grade school age kids, tweens to middle school and then high school teens all happen in an instant. Take time while everyone is sitting and attentive at the dinner table to create conversation. We aren't talking family debates, we are encouraging families to gain a better understanding of who each child and parent is as a human, not just a member of the family. We have created this family book that's to be left on the dinner table or in the kitchen. Start a conversation, create connections and maybe even laugh a little by using our simple questions. We have formulated questions that are specific to kids for you to help gain a better understanding of who your kids are. The "How was your day?" question is great, but can be so surface. The questions in this conversation book go a bit deeper, sometimes funny, light-hearted, and sometimes inquisitive. All were created to help you be intentional in spending time and growing your relationship with your child. There are questions for parents that the kids can ask. These parent questions will help your child know who you are and learn a little bit about how you grew up, who you were then, what you are proud of and more. We also have general questions. These are perfect for nights when you just want to talk. They also work well as conversation starters when you have dinner guests. Use this book to help sibling relationships as well. These family talks can help each brother, sister, mother and father understand one another better. I wrote this family conversation starters book for kids to help you get to know your kids. As a parent to 4 kids, I can verify that the rumors are true. Time flies, kids grow up too fast. Embrace this time by spending a few minutes at the dinner table learning about one another in a fun and creative way. So much can be learned about each other by just asking questions. 200 Conversation Starters for Kids and Parents : Put your phone down and get to know your family. Learn hat to talk about and how to create connection, conversation and community. This is a must have parenting book for families. My hope is that this fun family activity becomes a habit and that the relationships and bond between each member grows, all thru conversations and questions.
