Learn how our tools can help you to be intentional in your parenting through meaningful conversations.
Talking Points:
- As a family, it’s important to have intentional, meaningful conversations where parents can transfer their values to their kids without lecturing, preaching, or otherwise pulling out the soapbox.
- Intentionality is important. Try setting a day and time once a week where you use a FLEXTALK topic to have a conversation about subjects relevant to your family. The sooner you start, the better because your kids will know from a young age that the family is a safe space to talk about what’s important.
