We all want to have better and more meaningful conversations with our kids. It’s easy though to get stuck in a rut of asking the same old thing!
💡 One thing I have discovered is that kids really open up when their curiosity is piqued. It's when I manage to come up with an interesting, open-ended question that has taken them by surprise - that’s when they linger, and talk, and ask questions back.
Just the other day for instance we had a great conversation about whether “chocolate-flavoured rain would be a good or a bad thing?!” 🍫 My daughter said “Yes, because I love chocolate!” and my son said “No, because everything would get sticky.” We then got into all the reasons why it could be good or bad, which was super fun, but also developed their critical thinking skills at the same time. Even though the conversation only lasted 5-10 minutes that was longer than we usually manage and I know it’s something we will remember for a while!
Fortunately for you, I've done all the hard work so you don’t have to. I have written hundreds of quick, fun and stimulating questions for kids. They are all in my app called the "KidCoachApp" but I want send you send you a question a day from it - FREE!
👉 Some more examples would be “what are 10 things you can do with a cup?” or “if you found a new country, what 3 laws would you pass first?” or “how can you make your clothes better?” These are all surprising questions that your kids will never expect but will totally love!
If you tap the links you will see that each question is really a conversation card with some guidance for you and prompts for the kids. Parents tell me these are great to keep the conversation going!
They say it takes about 30 days for anyone to build a new habit whether it is starting a new diet, or a new exercise regime, or in this case asking kids unusual questions to connect! It’s long enough to make a difference but not so long that it is overwhelming. Here is a great 3 minute TED talk on the benefits of trying something new for 30 days.
💨 The fantastic thing about these questions is that they are quick, need no preparation or materials and can be done literally anywhere that suits you. Some families do it during the school run, others over the dinner table, others just before bedtime etc. It really is a fun habit you can build easily into your daily routine, in a way that works for your family.
Funny you ask 😊.
The other thing I have to say about these questions is that they get kids developing skills and “learning” without even realising that they are! Each of the questions is very open-ended and has no right answer.
🏋 This is exactly what the next generation will need to thrive. "21st century skills" like creativity, communication, critical thinking etc are just so crucial, and I believe that we parents can help our kids develop these simply through conversation at home.
It’s super simple!
All you need to do is pop in your name and email address in the sign up box on this page 👇. You’ll get your first question card immediately, and then once a day for 30 days.
