Talk With Your kids: Big Ideas
About this ebook
Big Ideas has over 75 conversations for parents to have with their children to try and tackle those large questions about life and the universe.
Michael Parker promotes the use of the questions for a platform fordiscussion with children, which will engage them more than a simple read of a book. Michael uses varied formatting such as: the use of multiple choice questions, visual scenarios or open ended questions to engage both children and parents alike and stimulate discussion. Talk With Your Kids: Big Ideas is a tool for parents to help their children understand aspects of the world that they might not even understand in the first place.
