The thing about family is that so often we fall back on the same conversational patterns. In part, that's because admin so easily dominates home chat: who's collecting who, organising what and paying for it when. We're also guilty of pursuing the same lines of enquiry: How was your day? What happened at school? Did you have fun? And these questions illicit a response that's just as uninspiring.
The truth is, we can all get to know the people we love better... with the right questions. So we've put our heads together and come up with a series of questions—some inspired by actual studies on this topic—that you can whip out over the summer.
The answers may surprise you.
Happy holidays!
