المراهقون: الحب + الحدود

I've been dreading the dating talk for years, but pulling out one of these cards on a drive home made it feel like a normal conversation instead of a lecture. The questions are open-ended enough that my 15-year-old actually kept talking past the first card.

We started using these cards at dinner and my 15-year-old actually answered the boundary question without shutting down. The pocket size means I can toss them in my bag for car rides, which is where the best conversations seem to happen anyway.

My daughter actually rolled her eyes when I pulled out the pocket pack, but ten minutes later she was the one asking the questions. The dating and relationship prompts gave us an easy way into conversations we'd been avoiding for months, and nobody had to sit through a lecture.
