About this episode
Want to say hello to another parent, coworker, or neighbor without planning every word? Try one question about something you both can see or are doing.
This short practice shows you how to listen for a detail, ask one follow-up when the person seems open to talking, and end the exchange kindly when they don't. You can begin without a memorized line or a promise that the conversation has to last.
