Sit with your child in a comfortable spot. A soft couch is popular. However, you may have another favorite like a king-size bed or a big easy chair.

Tell your child something interesting about your childhood. It could be something your mother used to say to you, or it could be what she gave you to eat. It could be about bedtime, toys, or your friends. Share as much as you will enjoy. Then switch to taking questions. Have fun as you answer fun things that your child would like to know about you.
