Build Everyday Connection

Adjust your tone, the setting, and your response to make ordinary conversation more mutual.

Everyday connection

Five parts of a conversation: the activity, your presence, the setting, your response, and the topic.

Talking is one option; play and shared activities count too.

Check your tone and body language.

Say what you feel without handing it to your child to fix.

Notice habits that interrupt listening.

Talk about learning without running through an interrogation.

Choose a tool that fits this moment. You can use one tool on its own; the map is not a sequence you need to complete.
