Fifty-two questions, sorted by age.

The problem is almost never that a father does not want to talk to his son. It is that the moment never gets scheduled, so it waits for a natural opening - and the natural opening comes at fourteen, when the habit was supposed to have been built at eight.

What you get

Fifty-two cards, eight to a page, with cut lines
Three tiers: ages 5 to 8, ages 9 to 12, ages 13 to 17
Written to be asked sideways, in a car or on a walk, not across a desk
A guide on running it, including what to do when he says nothing
A tracking page, and a page on what to do with what he tells you

Eleven pages. One card a week is fifty-two conversations a year. Most fathers get fewer.

Works for a daughter too, with four cards you may want to reword.

Break the cycle. Build the system. Be the man.
