General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Intellectual Stimulation: Try initiating some interesting discussions as you drive around town or make dinner with your child close by. "What do you think about classrooms without desks? Some teachers are thinking about trying that. Do you think you'd like a classroom like that?" Or, "Do you think there'll ever be a female president of the United States?" Actively listen to your son or daughter's opinions. Ask questions. Show interest.


Some piggin' hope.
