How was your school today? The most annoying question for each kid asked by their parents. To connect with your child, you have to make them talk. But what type of questions parents should ask their kids to open up about their life. While sitting at family dinner try some fun conversation starters which encourage your kids to talk and you will have so much fun packed family time at the dinner table.
How to get your child to open up?
Sometimes your kids get bored with the same questions and they just ignore, stop responding or just nod a head in reply. How would you make them talk and open up their feelings in front of you?
It’s hard to open up when your child is an introvert or dealing with anxiety. You have to set some family rituals like always have dinner together or have a half an hour gadget-free time to discuss daily life with family. These ways you can start a real conversation and create a friendly environment in the house where everybody is excited to talk.
You would try to have some family dinner conversations and remember, start with yourself.
You have to take charge of having table talk. Tell about your day at the house or office first, then try to ask about your kid’s day. Tell about your wishes and ask your son or daughter what he/she wants to do in the future.
