Four Simple Steps to Start a Conversation

Step 1: Choose a Card

Step 2: Look Together

Look at the child's face together. Ask, “What do you notice?” or “How do you think they might be feeling?”

Step 3: Talk About It

Use the prompts on the card to start a conversation. There are no perfect answers—follow where your child's thoughts take you.
