1.

Somehow, despite our best efforts, it still happens to even the most self-assured adult. Youโ€™re at a birthday party or a family dinner or a picnic in the park, and suddenly, you find yourself face to face with a kid. You introduce yourselves, thereโ€™s a slight pause, and then, even though you know better, you hear the boring question coming out of your mouth: โ€œSo howโ€™s school?โ€


Why are adults so bad at talking to kids, considering each and every one of us used to be one? โ€œWe forget what itโ€™s like to be a child,โ€ says Tina Payne Bryson, a psychotherapist and co-author of The Whole-Brain Child. โ€œItโ€™s hard sometimes to relate to kids because the rhythm of our days is so different.โ€ Our brains and habits have changed, and as adults, it can be tough to remember what itโ€™s like to be a 10-year-old.

2. Find a point of connection

Much like in an initial conversation with an adult stranger, it can be hard to know where to begin. But once you offer up an open-ended topic, a kid will often run with it. Icebreakers with a kid can be situational. If youโ€™re at a barbecue, ask them what their favorite condiment is. Or they can be general: Did you see a funny animal video recently? โ€œYou just want to get the kid talking,โ€ says Ben R., an 11-year-old who lives in Highland Ranch, Colorado.

3. Ask good follow-up questions

The next step in a good conversation with a kid? Pay attention. This is where many adults slip up. Instead of actually listening to what a kid has to say and asking a relevant follow-up question, they jump in with a long story about themselves โ€” or, worse, offer up a weird non sequitur.

4. Let their enthusiasm lead

Once the conversation is moving, step back. โ€œWhen talking to kids, adults make the mistake that they need to talk a lot,โ€ says Silverman. โ€œBut people [not just children!] actually love it when you listen.โ€ Instead, ask questions and let the kid direct the flow; theyโ€™ll naturally lead the conversation toward what interests them most.

5. Be yourself (even if that means being shy)

Kids have different temperaments and personalities, just like adults do. They donโ€™t expect everyone to be outgoing and loud. In fact, not every kid will want you to be. โ€œJust like different friends appeal to different people, different kinds of adults will appeal to different kids,โ€ says Bryson. โ€œThe boisterous adult doesnโ€™t appeal to some kids, and the quiet adult doesnโ€™t appeal to others.โ€ Just come as you are, since kids can tell whether youโ€™re being authentic or not. โ€œItโ€™s really about showing up as yourself in the moment,โ€ Bryson says.
