TOP 10 TRICKS FOR GETTING YOUR KIDS TO TALK TO YOU
10. Be upstairs if they are downstairs. This encourages yelling - always a favorite.
9. When they say, "Can I just tell you something really quick?" Say, "ly - don't forget the ly" this is guaranteed to start a fight.
8. Go to bed before them. They always want to talk when you are asleep.
7. Ask before you leave a room, "Does anyone have anything else they want to tell me before I leave?" They will say, "No." Then, as if by magic, they will have LOTS of things to tell you when you go upstairs. (See #10)
6. Be speaking to the other one.
5. Be doing something really noisy, they LOVE to talk to you when you can't possibly hear them.
4. Try and take a bath.
3. Talk to your spouse
2. Be on the computer.
1. Be on the phone.
