100 Family Conversation Starters & a QR generator review | Learn With Jenny One of my favorite things about my family of 6 is that we talk to one another. The lines of communication are wide open partly because Jeff and I ask our kids a lot of questions during carpooling to swim practice, family dinners, and on family outings. Our kids are destined to have 2 things thrown at them: questions and a camera. As my oldest daughter told our neighbor, “That’s the price of being a Meyerson kid.” The main purpose of these questions is to foster healthy relationships with my kids and challenge them to think about why they have their opinions and why they make the choices that they do. Here is a list of 100 questions that we have asked or will ask the kids. Click here for a printable pdf or just click on the image below to enlarge and read the questions more easily. If you didn’t see the video of some of the questions we ask from my post yesterday, the 2 minutes will make you laugh and start your day with a smile. Edited: Here is my review of Scan Life.
