What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Familes can talk about different approaches to problem-solving and the effort involved in solving just one problem in a poor country. Would you like to help people in other countries? Why is it important to help other people? What do you think it would be like to be in the Peace Corps? Would you be able to give up the comforts of home to help others? What can you learn from other cultures? How can playing a game in the security of your own home help expand your knowledge and understanding of different cultures?

Is it any good?
