Talk to your Kids

This book has lived at our kitchen table for the last year. Me and my son pick it up all the time - he loves answering the questions. As well as I know my son I am still astounded by some of his repsonses. Reading through this book has been a great excercise in communication.

Fun for Everyone

We keep this book on our nightstand or in the kitchen and will simply pick it up for a moment of fun and interaction. My 8-year old loves to ask parent questions and is learning to answer questions more thoroughly and thoughfully as a result of being asked the kid questions. This book is a lot of fun!

Teen won't talk?

Our communication with our teen usually consists of her blaming us for her life and then storming off to her room. So I was a little doubtful when I bought this book, not to mention desparate. One day after dinner I announced we were playing the question game. My daughter spent half an hour asking us questions from the book, and even answered a few. It was a nice break from the usual communication and gave us some interesting insights into her thoughts. I recommend it for even the worst cases.

A Fantastic Tool for Communicating with Your Child!

My 10-year old son and I LOVE this book. He is eager to answer the great and varied questions. You really find out things you DID NOT know about your child before. And my son loves to ask me the questions for parents. This is a MUST HAVE book for parents eager to communicate more fully with their children. I'm buying this for Christmas for my friends who have children.

An Entertaining Way to Revive Family Conversations!

My brother-in-law pulled this book out after a family dinner, with three generations present: grandparents, two sets of parents, two kids (teen through college-age) and a friend. We passed the book around several times with each person picking anyone at the table to ask a question to.It proved to be a highly entertaining evening, ranging from the hilarious to the historic to true confessions.In this day when our culture seems to have lost the art of conversation, this book would be an excellent way to revive meaningful interaction within families. I recommend this book, but be careful, you might be asked an embarrassing question or two!
