Mom to Mom
The holidays are a wonderful time to bond as a family, and what better time than over dinner! Kick off great conversations tonight by asking each family member one question about themselves. For example: "If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?" Or "What qualities do you look for in a friend?" You may learn a lot more than you expected!
Check out this article for five additional ways to inspire meaningful conversations with your family over dinner.
What did you and your family share over dinner today?

My daughter is still too young to engage in such a conversation. But she is not too young to listen/observe. My husband and I talk with one another about things but include our daughter into the conversation by using experiences. Such as sharing. She is a toddler, so we might emphasize how nice sharing is and can mean a lot to someone. We talk about "where we would go if we could". With my daughter we make up silly places, she is still young (not even 2 yet).

Silliness was shared at our table today. We went out to dinner (a rare treat when you live 50 miles from town), and we had a great time giggling and sharing stories.

Ds tells us who he played with at daycare. -
Ds is too young for conversations but we do keep up constant chatter and interaction with him during meal time -
This is a great idea. I have done it a few times witht he kids. Sometimes the older two will figure one out together. Once it was that they were going to walk to walmart and get something then they were going to go stay with their friends and a few other things

We do this all the time. DD is 6 and DS just turned 5, so the questions are more fun or silly.

My son is too young for that too.

We usually talk about how their day was at school, what they did, played, ate at lunch. How close they are to reaching goals and everything in between, there's also some silly conversations with my 5 yr old lol
