Child, we want to know you better

"No matter what I do, I can't talk to my child," "My son just won't open up to me." The article in Psychalive started.

We love our children, but talking to them in a meaningful manner isn't always easy. Maybe from time to time, we do have a heartfelt conversation that feels like we are getting hold of our children's day to day lives - even their inner feelings. But most of the time it's frustrating :

"how was school today?"

"Okay."

"What is one thing you learned today?"

"Nothing."

We want to know more about their random thought, their hopes, their preferences, their perspectives, their disappointments, what they are learning about life. We want to know them better.
