How can I get us talking?
Conversation Tools
Questions that open something rather than close it. Use them in the car, at the table, or in the ten minutes before sleep — and keep the ones that work in your Living Room.

A few to get you started
“What was the best bit of today, and what was the bit you would delete?”
“What is the hardest part of a school day that has nothing to do with lessons?”
“What does someone do that makes you think, I want to be friends with them?”
“Where in your body do you notice a worry first?”
“What is something you are quietly proud of that nobody has mentioned?”
“If you could change one rule in this family, which one would you change and how?”
“What do you think you will be like at twenty-five?”
“If our house had one extra room that could be anything, what would you put in it?”
