SYSTEMATIC WAY TO START AND CARRY THE
CONVERSATION
1) PLANNING BEFORE CONVERSATION WHEN YOU KNEW
THE PERSON YOU WILL INTERACT:
First of all, you
should focus on the persons over all look or behavior and nature that matters
because you don't understand these factors you can't get the right direction.
1.
Who is your best friend, and why?
This is a great conversation starter, especially after school. ...
2.
If you were asked to describe yourself using three words–which words
would you use? ...
3.
If we allowed you to make up your holiday, how would you celebrate it?
...
4.
Which is your favourite day of the week? ...
5.
What goes into your mind before you fall asleep?
2)
ON THE SPOT START THE CONVERSATION WITH STRANGE OR ALIAN PERSON:
If
you don't know the person, you don't get fear of some extra thoughts in your
mind like how is my presentation? What will she/he be thought about me? Don't
assume things that won't be happened in real.
1.
What do you like most about your
family?
I like everything but specially
take lunch together.
2.
Family dinner
time? Vacations?
Whatever it is, your child is genuinely happy about it. You
could also ask what they don't like and how the family can improve to keep this
flowing.
3.
What do you like most about your
family?
I
like my mom.
4.
Family dinner
time? Vacations?
Whatever it is, your child is genuinely happy about it. You
could also ask what they don't like and how the family can improve to keep this
flowing.
5. If you had to
switch families with one of your friends for one day, could you, do it?
Be prepared for a big “NO WAY!” Unless your child
just adores one of their closest friends' parents, this will likely be met with
resistance.
6. If you could
be any dinosaur, which one would you enjoy being?
T-Rex, Velociraptor, Pterodactyl. They will come up
with SOMETHING. Ask them what a day in the life of that dinosaur was
like.
7. What is your
favorite song or musician, right now?
Listen to their song or an album together. See if
they'll listen to one of your favorites, too!
8. If we could cook something together, what would
you make with me?
Let them pick a dinner to make
together. This is a fun with parents.
9. If it was
safe to live on another planet, which one would you choose and why?
Assume that it's possible to live on another
planet. Ask what life on that planet would be like and how it would
differ from Earth.

This must be an effective,
natural, interesting and friendly with communicator. You can ask about recent events
games, news, programmes, politics, gossiping related films.

favourite lunch at school each week or month?
Ask your
kids which foods are their favorites. If they take their lunch, ask them the
same about it.
2. If you could
be any video game character, which would it be? How would you go about
completing the game?
Be ready for answer on this one. You may
end up playing video games with them after this and something to do like craft etc.
3. What do you think about nail polish? If you
like it, what color or colors would you wear?
Ask your kids what they think and if they like it,
you might just be playing “Nail Salon” after this conversation. Respect and welcome every question of children.

and me spending time alone together?
They may pull some random memory out of nowhere.
Sometimes, things we think about are much more important to our children than
we realize.
5. What is one of the best movies that we've seen
together in the movie theater?
Going to the movies is a big deal when you're a
kid. I bet they'll have an immediate answer to this one.

Let your child discuss what kind of art would be
fun to make alongside you. You can have a lot of fun getting art supplies
and making something cool together.

teenager?
If you have younger children, ask them this.
Reassure them, if they bring up worries along with things they are looking
forward to.

store, which one would you choose? What items would you take?
Kids have so many wants, and this question opens up

mind.

have on Earth, which would you choose?
This topic may be a little worrisome for them but
ask it anyway. A lot of children are quite empathetic and their views of the

A lot of children are quite
empathetic and their views of the world and its problems matter, too.

it makes them think about others. Have them name something they're always thankful about one of their friends.

years at a time. See if they are happy with the one they've had for a while.

What do you like about them?
Assuming your kids read books, this should be a
pretty fun topic.

Going out to eat is one of the
highlights of being a kid. They'll freely talk about this and you can plan your
next dinner outing.

would it be like?
Have them demonstrate it for you. This will show
their imagination and burn off some excess energy.

someday, this can still be a fun, imaginative question.
4)ENHANCE THE THOUGHT PROCESSWITH INVOLVE NATURAL
THINGS:
1. 1.What type of job do you think you'd enjoy when
you're an adult?
Kids will probably come up with
the silliest answers to this. Game-tester was always my go-to, as a child of
the '80s.
2. If you could meet a famous person from
history, who would it be and why?
This is an old-school question, but
worth asking. Kids have learned about historical figures and may have
interesting answers.

Yet another old-school question, but one
that lends itself to a detailed plan of action.

rather be able to swim like a fish underwater, or fly like a bird?

to reassure them about the things they worry about.
10. What ice cream flavor is your favorite?
There are so many flavors, discuss

be about?
Another one to bring your kids to think.Wait! Can your child write a

CONCEPT ACCORDING TO AGE OF CHILD:

Batman? Cinderella? Or some fancy
name they heard from friends? Just find out the answer and get the conversation
going.

why?
Another provocative question any
child would love to answer. Allow them to answer them from the best to the
least favourite. Remember, the whole point is to get a decent conversation with
your child.
3. What don't you like about your school?
This conversation starter can get
your child off guard. While it shows that you care and are concerned about what
they do not like, it is vital that you be honest with your child so as not to
build castles in the air.
4. What is your favourite school trip so far?
Find out
why it is their favourite and let them share everything about it.

tradition is your favourite one?

PlayStation, then this would be an excellent opportunity to talk about it.

launch into a long, detailed story about who they were in another life.

of anything taken place of water, would you? And what would the pool be filled
with?
I often thought of this as a grade
school-aged kid. There were so many things I would have cannonballed into.
12. What's your favourite kind of exercise or
physical activity to do at morning? Or is there something you've always wanted
to try in free time?
These questions could lead to a
new, fun adventure for you and your child to do together. There's nothing wrong
with engaging in a little exercise or sport together.
