Making Meaningful Conversation With Your Kids A Regular Occurrence At Home

Talking to your kids can be a real challenge and it’s tempting to fall into a pattern of not making the effort. Smart phones, homework, activities and work can all get in the way, but it’s no excuse. If you don’t have conversations with your kids on a regular basis you lose touch and talking to them becomes more and more difficult. Here are some tips on making meaningful conversation with your kids a regular occurrence at home:

With everyone’s crazy schedules it can be difficult to sit down to dinner as a family every night, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try. Even if just you and one of your kids can sit down a few times a week and enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a bowl of ice cream together, it gives you an opportunity to hear about their lives and give them advice.
