Does anyone still have this list? I saved the link (which doesn’t work anymore) but can’t find the hard copy…

I can’t get it to download. Is there any way a copy can be emailed to me?

Thank you for this list. Just fyi I was trying to see the page in Chrome but it wouldn’t work, I gave up and tried to see it in Firefox, where it seems to work fine.

I’m really impressed along with your writing abilities as smartly as with the format on your blog.
Is that this a paid subject or did you customize it yourself?
Either way keep up the excellent quality writing,
it’s rare to look a great blog like this one nowadays..

Yes, Elle, you definitely are a Debbie Downer. I have been raised in a home where conversation was always encouraged and dinner time (mealtimes for that matter) was a time for sharing the day’s experiences, putting in common everybody’s take on work, leisure and immediate plans. I am now married to a Spaniard who prohibits talking at the table because he says that it is the time for eating and nothing else. But boy, does he watch then TVE news and soccer games. He has his head turned away from our daughters and there is no family communication at the table. We are happy when he is on a trip or away at a work dinner so that the three of us can chat and be a normal family at dinner. Parents, realize that by not conversing, either in Spanish, English or any other language, you are robbing your children from a valuable experience that they will later pass onto their own families. Let them eat and talk at the dinner table!!! Please!!!

I’m exactly in Elle’s situation with my girl. She’s non-stop, but I can see how making this more of a game can get her going. Definitely perfect for a car drive, a picnic, camping, etc. Family dinners are really hard to have in my house because of our schedules, but we do find and create our special conversation moments every day. Usually in bed!
Thanks so much for sharing these!

I’m smiling because my 8 year old was JUST like that as a toddler! I was thinking that this list would be great on long car rides– one of my kids’ favorites parts about it is reaching in the bowl to pick their “own” question. I think the little ones feel like finally they have the spotlight!

Such a good tradition/habit!!! Don’t lose it as they go to school and (perhaps) want to speak in English!! This was our issue:).
