No matter how old they are, talking with your children is one of the most important things you can do to help them grow up confident and secure. When they start school with strong communication skills, they will be better prepared to learn and become successful students. Visit our Conversation Starters page for ideas. Ask questions that require more than a one word answer, such as "yes" or "no." Ask them to explain something or talk about a story you read together. Answer your children's questions thoughtfully and encourage them to answer their own questions. If you don't know an answer to a question, tell them so and suggest ways to find the answer together. Value your children s answers. Don't use your talks as a chance to criticize or blame. If your children are unafraid to talk with you, you can more easily help them improve or change behavior. Listen closely. If your children believe their feelings and ideas are valued, they will be more likely to talk openly and you can learn a great deal about how they think and what they feel. You can help set the stage for your children to continue to share their thoughts and feelings as teenagers. Read stories to your children. Let them see you read. Take them to the library for storytelling and to choose books to take home and share with you. Reading together helps children learn about language and share something wonderful with you in a close, warm atmosphere. And, it opens their world to authors of all kinds of books and stories from all over the world. Tell stories to your children. Children love to hear stories. Tell your children stories about when they were younger. They love hearing these and they make children feel valued. Tell them stories you loved hearing when you were a child.
Tell stories about yourself when you were a child and about other family members. These stories give children an important understanding of family history. They also show how family members work, play, make mistakes, and celebrate successes together. Conversation Starters Practicing good parent-child communication is an excellent avenue for teaching social skills and communication skills, which young children will need more and more as they get older. Use these conversation starters to work with your child on active listening and communication. Does your child copy your disciplinary style? Ask, If your teddy bear makes a mess or tells a lie, how will you deal with it? I see you had a problem with your teacher today. Tell me what happened and let s see if we can work together on a way to clear up the problem. I think you made a great drawing. Tell me why you picked the colors that you did. How did you think to draw that? I d like you to play on a neighborhood team this summer. What kind of team would you like to play on? If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Is there someone you know whom you would almost always be willing to do what he or she says? Who is that person? Let s do something fun tomorrow. What do you think would be fun? Let s go for a walk around the neighborhood and see how many doors we can count. You can practice riding on your bike while I walk. Let s play copycat. You do everything I do. Later I ll copy everything you do. What did I do that you had the most fun copying? Why? What else do I do that you do? Let s play with clay today. What do you like to make with clay? Our church is having a picnic tomorrow night and the whole family is going. Can you be in charge of getting together things to play with, like flying discs or a baseball? Tell me about a time you felt (happy, sad, afraid, angry) during the day today. Tell me about one person you met or played with today. Tell me about one thing that happened today. Tell me one good thing that happened at school today. Tonight, we re going to have a family meeting to talk about taking care of the dog. Everyone will sign up for feeding and walking the dog during the week. What are our family rules? Why do we need them? What are some of the rules in Grandma s (or another family member s) house? What do you like best to do with (a member of the family)? Why? What do you want to be when you grow up? What makes you want to be that? What is a rule? What is your favorite thing to do? What is your favorite thing to eat? What makes you angry? What do you do when you re angry? What rules do you follow at school? Why? What scares you? What do you do when you re scared? What should happen if you break a rule? What three words would you use to tell another person about yourself? Why those three words? What would you like to help me make for dinner tonight?

Show and Tell - Showing Respect Respect is a two-way street: When you show respect to others, they show respect to you. That s why modeling respect for your children is so important. Family members know when they are being respected and learn to practice respect in return. Here are some easy tips to follow from Family Focus on Respect (PDF) from the University of Illinois. Respect Do s Be courteous and polite. Children learn to say, excuse me, please, thank you, and I m sorry at a very young age. Accept others without prejudice. Children take their cue from their families if all different types of people are accepted and respected by their parents, children will learn to welcome people from different backgrounds, also. Respect Don ts Don t insult, hurt, mistreat, or put down others. Teasing or belittling others causes hidden hurts that break down self-esteem and cause emotional distress. Don t take advantage of people or use them to get what you want. If children see their parents dealing with others outside of the family unfairly, they ll get the message that it s okay not to respect the rights of others. Sources: Developing a Pattern of Respect and Respect and Hidden Hurts from Family Works and the University of Illinois provide tips and rationale for modeling respect in the family. Family Issues Facts: Children and Respect from the University of Maine and Family Focus on Respect (PDF) provide do s, don ts, and ways to help family members treat each other with respect.
