An easy-to-use family time resource. This book gives you a year’s worth of prompts that engage you and your kids on all sorts of topics, games, creative prompts, and conversation starters to connect with one another and learn a little more about one another. I will be buying this. Makes a great teacher gift for classroom use!

I absolutely adore this book! I'm a big believer in family dinners, and this is the perfect companion to those communal meals. While I personally love having solid conversations starters that can lead to something meaningful, my kids tend to prefer games like 20 Questions for more mindless dinner entertainment. "The Daily Conversation Starter" helped us meet in the middle, with an engaging mix of imaginative questions, artistic prompts, and silly games like tongue twisters that keep my kids happy, mixed in with some very purposeful reflections on family values and experiences. While I think the book would best fit families with elementary schoolers, most of the prompts are mature enough for even my teenagers to be willing to do. I was gifted an electronic copy of this book for an honest review, but I'll be pre-ordering our family a print copy to work through this year as well.

This is a great resource for connecting as a family. It's easy to make conversation with our toddler but the examples given here have been great for my teenage stepson who we usually get grunts out of. I liked that the suggestions are so varied that they don't feel so structured.

Pleasantly surprised by how dynamic this book is. I love it as a family guidebook for silly and serious conversations — basically a way to get communicating.

I skimmed the book and there are some good ideas here. This is more of a coffee table/gift book or for a couple or family to consciously choose to have a guide to spend more time together. Personally, I like something more organic, like games, but it's well written and clear.

This is an amazing book! As someone who struggles with what to talk about and/or how to start a conversation, it's a great prompt! The only bad part is that it's not library appropriate as there is space on many pages for family members to write on it, color in it, etc. Great for giving as a gift, though!

Yes! I love these book prompts. It is such a better alternative to 'How was your day?' or 'Roses and Thorns. ' I already preordered this book for home and told a fellow school counselor about this book. Parents are always looking for a way to connect with their children, with not a lot of success. This book can make this task easier. I wonder how older children would also engage in these questions or if there could be a 'teen' version.

Thanks for sharing!

This book is a great way to connect with kids of all ages (at least 3 and older I’d say. Each day has a quick game or drawing activity or prompt that helps families get to know each other better and just have fun together. I liked that the intro encourages families to use it however works best for them, whether it be a few a day or once a week. I also think this would be great for a classroom too. Some of the prompts would have to be adapted since it is written for families. But that could be easily done.
(Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.)

This is such a good reference guide book for parents and guardians to naturally start a conversation and actually have fun with the kids. Instant learning and can be readily applicable are what these various tips and techniques provide in the amazing compilation. The presentation is fun and the reading experience will be quite enjoyable for both the parents and the young readers. Some prompts even include activities which are interactive and fun.

Go for this. It will make your day start much better when you have the first meal of the day with your kids. Amazing book!

Thank you, Harper Celebrate, for the advance reading copy.

This was a fun book to look through. My son and I did several of the prompts. He especially enjoyed the weird food prompt. It was a fun opportunity for him and I to share a few laughs. I like that these activities only require a short amount of time and involve lots of different things. I look forward to doing more of these with my son.
