Conversation Starter Cards

Conversation is becoming a lost art in today's high-tech, electronic society. As a parent, you are your child's first and best instructor in how to communicate effectively through spoken dialogue. Family mealtime is the ideal opportunity to demonstrate this skill and help your little ones develop a sense of what topics are appropriate and interesting, how to stay on topic, cede control of the conversation to someone else, wait your turn to speak, and much more. Coming up with new topics that draw everyone in can be challenging, so having a few teed up and ready-to-go at mealtime can be helpful. I created a few conversation starter cards for my family and have shared them in the link provided. Simply print out the PDFs provided on card stock, cut them apart and set them in the middle of the table!
