DS got given a guide for parents today, on how to talk to your children. Apparantly 'children who talk at home achieve more at school'.
Some of the ideas are:
- Have a chat while you are in the car
-Walk & talk
- Turn off the telly at mealtimes
- Talk about school & things they are interested in
There's even a list of subjects you could 'start a conversation about'.
Really? Are things so bad that parents need a guide?
