Why do the conversation starter cards work?Updated 5 months ago

Our conversation starter cards are highly effective because they are meticulously crafted with input from over 67 professionals—including therapists, counselors, communication experts, and experienced parents. This extensive expert collaboration ensures each question is trustworthy, safe, and designed to foster meaningful and engaging discussions. We never use blogs, Google or dubiously-sourced prompts in our products! See this article for more information on the expert-backing of our products.

By removing the mental burden of coming up with new topics, these cards make it effortless to initiate conversations, even when you're tired or busy. They actively involve participants—especially children—in guiding the dialogue by letting them choose topics and ask questions themselves. The unexpected and fun prompts serve as "pattern interrupts," capturing attention and opening the door to deeper, more meaningful connections.

Moreover, the practice of good conversation also has a myriad of benefits which Talking Point Cards makes easy and effective:

• Improves critical thinking, listening and speaking skills.
• Develops language and comprehension ability.
• Build self-confidence, public speaking and eloquence.
• Grows independence and leadership skills.

They are really the most accessible way to help your loved ones build, train and perfect their interpersonal skills in a fun way that doesn’t feel like work. There is a huge body of conclusive research spanning decades about the negative impact of non-communication and the positive benefits of face-to-face communication. You can read our report of this information in this article.

By viewing connection as a step-by-step journey rather than a one-time event, conversation starter cards help build stronger relationships over time, making communication more enjoyable and effective for all involved.
