You are welcome to go through each topic one after the other, or you can pick and choose which topics you would like to focus on depending on your child's needs and interests. It's a great idea to go back and revisit topics as your child continues to grow and have new experiences. Each time you cover a topic you will notice your child's responses will be different. This program has been designed specifically to help you maintain connection and build open communication with your child as their life experiences expand.

While enjoying these topics together, remember to encourage your child to open up and share. It's important to create a safe space for them to talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Try to avoid telling your child what to do and instead encourage their own thinking and problem solving. A great way to do this is to ask questions such as;

• What do you think about ______ ?

• What would you do in that situation?

• Do you think there is another way you could do it?

• How do you think that would affect others?

• How does that make you feel?

• If that happened again, what would you do differently?

• What do you wish that person had done differently?

Your child may say things you don't agree with, or things that surprise you. It's important to maintain your 'poker face' and keep your own emotions and reactions in check. By doing this, you will help to build a sense of safety and acceptance for your child. This is important for building long term connection and encouraging ongoing open communication.
