How to Engage Your Child in Meaningful Conversation

12/12/2022 by Heidi

Little boy opening a Christmas gift.

My kiddos loved to open presents when they were young. I cringed as each bow came off. Sounds crazy that I wouldn’t enjoy watching my young children open gifts. But in reality, I feared birthdays and Christmases wondering what shocking statements my children would make upon unwrapping a gift.  This was especially true of Bubs and Little Man ...
