Conversation prompts
Start a talk at the table
Pick one question. Ask it at dinner, in the car or at bedtime. Listen first.
- What is one dream you have that we have never talked about?
- What made you proud of yourself this week?
- How can the family help you with your biggest goal right now?
- What does a great year look like for each of us?
- What is one thing we could do together that we have never done?
- What is something you are worried about that we could solve together?
- Who in the family could use some encouragement today?
- What would you try if you knew you could not fail?
