Not only are children constantly growing and changing, but with the average child spending two to three hours in front of a screen per day, it’s more difficult to get kids to really have a conversation.

To learn more about how your child sees the world, making use of open-ended conversation starters can be a fun way to get them talking! Check out some of our favorites below.
