It’s even completely alright to Google ‘dinner conversation starters’! The effort to have these conversations is so worthwhile because it can be a conduit for digging into the details of what’s really going on in the life of your son or daughter.

• How do you find out about your child’s day at school when they get home without one word answers? How can we dig deeper and connect with our kids where they are?
• Rights go along with responsibilities.  As your kids head into the school year, start a conversation with them by asking what their new responsibilities look like in a higher grade.
