Family Conversation Starters

Use these questions to start a dinner time conversation. Some helpful tips:

• Wait until the person has finished speaking

• Listen carefully and ask follow up questions

• Let others ask you questions too

• Alternating the flow of conversations helps all family members feel like they are equal in the discussion
