Family mealtime is a chance to discuss and debate, to talk about the highs and lows of the day, to share ideas and values. It is a time to laugh together and enjoy each others company. It is a time for parents to connect with what is going on in their childrens lives.

• Sample conversation starters include:
• Tell about a time when you should not have laughed but did anyway.
• What is the best/worst thing about being a child?
• Describe which teacher will remember you most and why?
• What family events or activities give you happy memories?
