Dinnertime conversations are powerful. Use these 20 dinner time questions to get your kids talking!

20 Dinner Time Questions to Get Kids Talking #parenting #tipsThe research is clear that one simple thing can have profound impact on children and teens: the family dinner. Kids who eat dinner together at least five nights a week with their family are more likely to do well in school, eat more fruits and vegetables, and are less likely to partake in high-risk activities like underage drinking.

Did you know that the conversations you have at the dinner table can boost your child’s vocabulary as much or more than reading aloud to them? You can be intentional and get the conversation going by asking open-ended questions. Here are some questions to get your kids talking at the dinner table.
