Keep the conversation going with your children
We know that it isn't always easy to get our kids to talk with us. The usual questions:
- how's school?
- what did you do today?
- how's your Mum and/or Dad?
- what are you watching on TV?
don't always generate scintillating conversation between a child and a parent at home. It is even harder for an absent parent to get a good chat going that gets more than the usual "OK" or "alright" or even "dunno!" as responses. It becomes much easier to talk when you can share a new story especially written to engage the child's imagination.
Stories My Nana Tells encourages reading and learning in a family environment. If you are a busy executive, work on a FIFO roster or travel a great deal, they are a fun way for parents and children to connect. Our stories are written for children aged 7-12 years and encourage them to be adventurous, inquisitive and active. find out more here.
