                  • Improve Family Dialogs with StarkMHAR Conversation Cards

                    Once your family is seated around the dinner table, the typical conversation starter is: “So, how was your day?”

                    And the typical answer? “Fine.”

                    Getting your child to say anything more can be a lot of work.

                    But what if you stopped thinking of the child’s attitude as the problem, and started with the question? What if there were some truly interesting questions you could ask your family? And what if they were excited to think about them and answer?
