What Makes a Good Family Conversation Starter
The best starters are specific and a little personal. “How was your day?” gets “fine.” “What’s a sound from your childhood home you’d pay to hear again?” gets a story.
Specific beats open-ended, and curious beats clever. You don’t need the perfect moment — you need one good question and someone willing to answer it first.
