I can't get my child to talk

Q: Our 7 year old son is not very talkative, and when we ask him about his day at school he tells us he doesn't want to talk about it or he doesn't remember. We want him to share his feelings and learn how to communicate with us, but are not sure of the best way to handle this. Do you have any suggestions?

A: Most experts recommend playing board games...talk just seems to flow over a good game. Your child is old enough to play Clue, Jr. Scrabble, Monopoly...you'll find him talking in no time...and then he may casually weave in what you're really wanting to know. You can find more games like Wiz Kidz, Think-it-Through Tiles or Marbleworks at www.toysofdiscovery.com
