What Kids Would Tell You...If Only You'd Ask! Review and Giveaway!

Hey Neighbors!

This is a neat one for Family Fun Night! Dr. Vicki Panaccione founder of the Better Parenting Institute, wrote a book called What Kids Would Tell You...If Only You'd Ask! This book is meant to be done together with your children. Each page has a question for you to ask your child and a blank area to record the answer. Some pages include a question for the parent to answer. First question is:What do you want to be when you grow up? The parents question is:When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Simple? Maybe, but when is the last time you really sat down and had a conversation with your child? How well do you really know each other? Some of the questions in this book are easy conversation openers, while others require more thought. This one takes a little more thought: What is the most important thing you have learned from your mom and dad? Each of your brothers and sister? Parents,What's the most important thing you've learned from your kids? Each other? And then here is a conversation opener:How many things can you do with a pencil? A paper clip? A bar of soap?



You can use this book for Family Fun Night, or perhaps ask one question each evening at dinner. For Family Fun Night you can actually take turns asking and recording the answers. Another idea might be to get a journal for each person to answer the questions in and save them for when they are grown. Or perhaps your child could pretend to be an interviewer and pick 4-5 questions to ask you.
