3 Great Conversation Starters: Connect with Aging Parents, Friends this Holiday Season Vicki Rackner MD
You may find your family around the holiday table eating a familiar meal as you share familiar stories. Holidays are filled with history-rich tradition.
Want to deepen your connection with family and friends? Here are three thought-provoking questions certain to start a lively conversation. Actress Anna Deveare Smith used these questions in interviews that are the foundation on her efforts to put her finger on the pulse of America.
1. Do you know the circumstances of your birth? 2. Have you ever faced death? 3. Have you ever been falsely accused?
Be prepared for a real treat! This is a great way to get to know your aging parents even better!
Happy holidays!
