We have a fantastic little game for you on the site today, another little activity from Joanna Fortune’s book covering 15-minute parenting activities for kids aged 0 to 7. This questions to ask your kids game is designed to help your children get to know YOU as a parent, and your family. As strange as that sounds, but it is actually really lovely for kids to know that little bit more about their family. It can really help them to feel they “belong.” As kids grow up, it is important that they feel they are an integral part of that family unit, in a safe and loving environment.

We LOVE this printable, the questions are beautifully simple, but really fun for the kids to both think about, and learn the answers to as well.
