The Morning Thing talks about “talking”. Parents – please read this!

School is back in session. One of the biggest challenges for parents is keeping the line of communication open with your kids. The Morning Thing team shared some conversation starters from www.imom.com. You can learn how to ask the right questions to get your kids talking.

Here are some ideas for talking “before school”.

We think that the key to good communication is just being there for your kids. As parents, we need to make listening our top priority.  When kids feel that it is safe to share their feelings, they will start to open up and true connections can be made.
Good luck!  Let’s start talking TODAY!
