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.

Indeed, it can feel like the best option is not to talk! But keeping kids safe—and prepared for all the times when you can't be the angel on their shoulder—is about having the right conversations at the right time. From a brain growth and emotional readiness perspective, there is no better time for this than their tween years, right up to when they enter high school. Distilling Michelle Icard's decades of experience working with families, Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen focuses on big, thorny topics such as friendship, sexuality, impulsivity, and technology, as well as unexpected conversations about creativity, hygiene, money, privilege, and contributing to the family. Icard outlines a simple, memorable, and family-tested formula for the best approach to these essential talks, the BRIEF Model: Begin peacefully, Relate to your child, Interview to collect information, Echo what you're hearing, and give Feedback. With wit and compassion, she also helps you get over the most common hurdles in talking to tweens, including: • What phrases invite connection and which irritate kids or scare them off • The best places, times, and situations in which to initiate talks • How to keep kids interested, open, and engaged in conversation • How to exit these chats in a way that keeps kids wanting more Like a Rosetta Stone for your tween's confounding language, Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen is an essential communication guide to helping your child through the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead and, ultimately, toward teenage success.
