How can I get my kids to participate in family discussions?

Start by creating a comfortable environment where they feel safe to express their thoughts. You can also ask open-ended questions.

What kind of open-ended questions should I ask?

You might ask questions like, 'What was the best part of your day?' or 'How do you feel about our family vacation plans?' This encourages sharing.

How do I handle it if they don't want to talk?

If they seem reluctant, try to engage them in a fun activity first, then gently bring up the discussion. Patience is key!

Are there specific topics that are better for kids?

Yes! Topics like their favorite movies, hobbies, or even current events can spark interest and make them more willing to share.
