#445: Outdoor Conversations

Wish your son would talk to you more? Take him outside. Since your son can turn to Google for an answer to any question, he may not come to you much with questions in his day-to-day life. But if you get him in an outdoor setting,  he just might start asking you for help. Have him pitch your tent while you’re camping. Get on a boat and go fishing, and teach him how to tie his own lure and clean his own fish. At night, ask him to build a fire at your campsite. As he asks you questions about each task, it will open up your conversation. And as you sit around the fire, he just might start asking you about other issues in his life, as well.
