Book Description
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. My hope is that this fun family activity becomes a habit and that the relationships and bond between each member grows, all thru conversations and questions.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
The phenomenon returns! Originally published in 1987, The Book of Questions, a New York Times bestseller, has been completely revised and updated to incorporate the myriad cultural shifts and hot-button issues of the past twenty-five years, making it current and even more appealing. This is a book for personal growth, a tool for deepening relationships, a lively conversation starter for the family dinner table, a fun way to pass the time in the car. It poses over 300 questions that invite people to explore the most fascinating of subjects: themselves and how they really feel about the world. The revised edition includes more than 100 all-new questions that delve into such topics as the disappearing border between man and machine—How would you react if you learned that a sad and beautiful poem that touched you deeply had been written by a computer? The challenges of being a parent—Would you completely rewrite your child’s college-application essays if it would help him get into a better school? The never-endingly interesting topic of sex—Would you be willing to give up sex for a year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you now have? And of course the meaning of it all—If you were handed an envelope with the date of your death inside, and you knew you could do nothing to alter your fate, would you look? The Book of Questions may be the only publication that challenges—and even changes—the way you view the world, without offering a single opinion of its own.

Eight Dates
Author: John Gottman

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Whether you’re newly together and eager to make it work or a longtime couple looking to strengthen and deepen your bond, Eight Dates offers a program of how, why, and when to have eight basic conversations with your partner that can result in a lifetime of love. “Happily ever after” is not by chance, it’s by choice– the choice each person in a relationship makes to remain open, remain curious, and, most of all, to keep talking to one another. From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.
