Noah and I have a really close relationship and talk about
all kinds of things. We enjoy playing games together. I use games to help talk
about things with him. It can be hard to come up with new things to talk about
though. Sometimes you feel like you know everything about your child and you
don’t. I know there’s a lot of things Noah doesn’t know about me. It’s just
because it never came up. Usually we will start talking about something and I
will tell him a story about myself when it pertains to the topic. Communication
is so important between parent and child. I had the chance to work with
Personalogy again and check out the Family Fun Edition. If you missed my
previous post, it’s a fun card game where you read a question and answers and
someone else answers it about the person reading. It’s a game to see how much
you know about someone else. You can
make it like a game show where the first person to raise their hand can answer
and if they get it right they get a point. I think it’s fun to just learn about
each other. I am not big on keeping score.
Noah and I played it
immediately when it arrived. We made it a little party and ordered pizza and
breadsticks and spent an hour asking each other the questions and guessing how
the other would answer. I actually found some stuff about Noah I didn’t know.
It was all silly small stuff but that’s how you open the door to communication. I think it’s important to have that time
together. If one of us was wrong the other had to give the right answer and
explain why. I think the why is more
important than the answer. It’s easy to spout off facts about someone, but to
know why they like something is more meaningful. For example, my favorite
candle scent is Macintosh because it reminds me of my family.
If we know the why is it will help us understand each other
on a deeper level. I think we just sometimes gloss over the answer and not ask
questions. Personalogy Family Fun Edition would be a great addition to your
child’s Easter Basket. It’s small so you can take it on road trips to give you
something to while you are riding in the car. You could have a designated
reader for the driver. It will help break away from some of that screen time
too. You never know what you might learn. I am still learning things about my
mom that I never knew about her growing up.
