Children love to be a part of adult conversations.
They like to hear about your work life, the interaction you have with fellow employees, and the decisions you make. Rather than just casually mentioning these things, engage the children's thoughts by creating a questioning system that develops decision-making skills. Keeping up on current topics that are of interest to children and weaving them into normal conversation allow issues to be treated easily and objectively. Politics, current events, or controversial topics can also be part of this interactive talk. The key here is to handle this discussion in such a way that no one thinks it is a teaching opportunity but just an enjoyable conversation.
