Mat-chats (proper noun)- Placemats used at meal times to break down barriers and promote conversation.
Do you ever have a hard time getting into conversations with your child, especially when they are entering the pre-teen years, or are in their teen years? I have been introduced to a great product to get those conversations moving! Mat Chats are placemats that you can place in your child's "spot" on the table. There are 8 different topics of Mat Chat Placemats. I got the Fun/Work placemat to review. Some of the questions/topics are Describe how my being responsible helps the family. Myself? Talk about something fun you would like the family to do either today or in the future.Each Mat Chat includes: a discussion topic, Inspirational Quote (gets you thinking), 4 questions (gets you talking), dictionary meaning of discussion topic, and a reminder to always respect others. There are 8 place mats in each kit, and they are priced at $14.95 a set.
Lisa Brown is the founder and CEO of Mat chats. Being a widowed mom of two, and a Psychiatric NP, she knows the importance of active parenting. She knows life is busy, being a busy mom herself, and the inspiration came to her one harried morning. She wanted something to help make the most of her time with her kids. What is great about Mat Chats, is her kids help her put the topics/questions together.
