Family News

It is always hard to get communication started in the family. You can try this to get everyone talking.

Give each child a spiral notepad and pencil or pen. Now tell them to watch what is going on in the family during the week.

Have them write notes or pictures to describe what is going on.

For a bit of fun, the can even interview family members. This can be parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, anyone!

Now pick a day of the week over dinner and have your reporters let you know what they observed. You can ask questions or just chat about what they have reported.

Not only will you be communicating, but you might also be learning bits of information that you did not know before!
