This week's Bump Group Chat we are joined by parent educator Gen Muir to talk all things in car conversations! We cover the power of short, low-pressure chats, simple prompts that invite sharing (without pressure), what to do with one-word answers, how to handle after-school meltdowns, and ways to use those small drive-time moments to build connection.
In our busy lives, with places to always be we may as well make the most of our many hours spent in the car right?
It’s practical reassuring and yes, there are some hilarious moments too. For more from Gen, head to her website - https://www.connectedparenting.com.au/
As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛
