Do you ever feel like you're walking on eggshells when you're talking with your adult children?
Here's what you need to do to fix the conversation fast, get things back on track, and turn lackluster communication into a loving and meaningful relationship that will last for decades.
Okay so you have an adult child. You put in great effort raising them. You potty trained them! (I heard it's like 9,000 diaper changes/kid on average...) You took them to school. You poured your LIFE into them!
That bond should be rock solid.
Except, every time you call or see them... it just seems like the conversations are not that great... or loving...
They answer with single word responses and you have to do conversational gymnastics to keep it going.
They avoid sharing things about their life with you so you just have to guess how well they're doing.
Their voice sounds so bored you almost start feeling bad for even talking! Their voice becomes irritated and now you KNOW you've made it worse somehow.
They end up spending the majority of the phone call just trying to end it. They take days (or even weeks) to respond to your texts, even when it's just a simple message.
They avoid looking at you while you talk. They often make plans with their siblings without including you.
They tend to not smile around you making even pleasantries not very pleasant.
They fly off the handle because they misinterpreted what you said as something you didn't mean making YOU the bad guy.
I'm sure you've seen this all first hand before.
But what if there was a simple way to fix this problem?
What if it was as simple as just starting with a different question, and that's all you had to do?
What if you just changed the FIRST thing you said to them?
And it allowed all your conversations to flow WITHOUT hostility so they open up and actually share with you?
What if you could change the dynamic with something as simple as a 12 word question?
Well I have FANTASTIC news for you!!
Because I have
not one,
not two,
BUT ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN Conversation Starters that are going to change the way you communicate with your adult children forever.

But who in the world is Susie Funk and why are her conversation starters so effective?
You've probably never heard of me. It's pretty likely that you were just wondering about your relationship with your adult kid and then BOOM my face popped up on an ad...
Crazy how that happens huh?
But now you're thinking: are these conversation starters really going to change the way I talk with my children?
Fair question.
VerifiedLet me introduce myself.
My name is Susie Funk. For the past 5 years I've been helping thousands of mothers mend, strengthen, and deepen their relationships with their adult children with multiple tens of thousands of mothers coming into my world in the last year alone.
But besides all that, I actually have 6 adult children of my own!
I've been walking the walk for over a decade strengthening each of my relationships with my own children.
Why is this important?
Because when I say these convo starters work, I'm not guessing.
They're based on thousands of conversations in thousands of real families.
If you use them, they'll work.
How can I be so sure?
Well...
While I dive into ALL sorts of specific scenarios within my programs, I've realized the thing that matters the most (and what we often do wrong) is providing an environment for connection:
The start of the conversation sets the tone for connection.
Not the location, not a big life event. Just an honest, open-ended, no-agenda question that gets adult children to open up to you.
That's exactly what you're getting here:
117 Conversation Starters you can start using today to connect with your adult children on a whole new level.
Even if you left things on a sour note.
Even if you don't communicate often.
Even if you normally feel awkward.
I took notes on the way I (and my influential mothers) would communicate openly with our adult children and then I put together the phrases we used to start the conversations that made them go better. Then I had my newer clients use them to foster greater connection in THEIR conversations as well!
Just pick your favorite one, call up an adult kid, and let the deep conversation begin!
I made it as simple as possible for you to create healthy involvement with your adult children.
In fact, you can use these WORD FOR WORD and get the most meaningful conversation you've ever had with your adult children started.
They can even be reused forever! You probably have more than one kid!
If you talk... let's say... once a week! You could use a new one for 27 months straight with no repeats...
And after talking to you in depth for OVER 2 YEARS EVERY WEEK
It'll become so natural that you'll just say, "Hi" and the opening up will flood out.
These conversation starters have been used to help mediocre surface-level relationships go deeper and very distant, non-relationships be open to starting fresh
and everything in between!
I've even had mothers use them on kids they had GREAT relationships with!
Guess what happened?
Best convo of their life! It still helps!
Who are these conversation starters for?
They're for any mother who's interested in having more real, raw, and open communication with their adult children.
They're also for YOU if any of the following situations sounds familiar:
If you're curious about their life & journey, but every attempt to learn more fails. Let these conversation starters do the hard part!
If every time you try to chat, it comes out awkward or like your prying or desperate. Get the ball rolling with this $17 fix!
If "winging it" at the start of every conversation is your go-to method of trying to be involved... I created these convo starters for you.
If you only get updates through posts on social media, these convo starters will help you get the inside scoop!
If your last conversation was just about how busy they are, you can use these starters to make more of the time they have for you.
If you visited them and only talked logistics or the weather the whole time, the next $17 you invest will make the next visit you have go better.
If you just dropped them off at college or a new apartment and now you don't hear from them as often, the 117 conversation starters can strengthen your new long-distance relationship.
If they just got married, things are changing, and you have no idea how to proceed, these conversation starters will help you forge a connection that grows with them (instead of against them).
If you've had a disagreement that you'd like to move past, use these starters to find common ground and talk it through.
Here's what's included
117 strong and ready-to-use conversation starters so you can call up your child right now and go to sleep tonight having truly created an opportunity for connection.
You will be able to download them, print out, and place near your phone, desk, or bedside table. PLUS you get lifetime access WITH any future additions.
I just want you to use them and actually watch the conversation change.
What Your Life Looks Like After
You have conversations with your adult child that don't immediately turn into a fight.
Your conversations don't get cut short for no reason.
Your adult children feel more and more comfortable sharing things with you!
You move past surface-level topics with ease!
You are more natural and relaxed in your interactions with your adult kids.
Communication isn't scary anymore.
You're not desperate for contact, it comes naturally.
Why is it only $17?
Because I know firsthand how much harder life can be for us mothers when things aren't right with our kids.
And while I have sold these for $45 before and it was a STEAL then,
I'd just rather this not be a big decision for you.
What would you pay to be able to have deeper discussions with your adult children?
What would you pay to be able to start having more positive reactions to your calls?
Right? So I've made it a no brainer.
I want you to try them out and know that it was the best money you've ever spent!
Would you pay $17 if all you got was ONE single deep, connecting conversation with your adult child?
I know I would! (Heck, I spent a LOT more than $17 on them when they were younger!)
But imagine being able to use these over and over again!
Think of it this way:
These conversation starters come out to about 15 cents each
Would you trade 15 cents to have a conversation with your kids like they care again?
Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely.
You have 30 days to try these out.
Use your favorite one TODAY
or tomorrow!
Pick several to do next!
Call up all your kids over the next 4 weeks and mix it up!
(whatever you prefer!)
If you don't feel like these conversations were the start of a turning point in your relationships then I INSIST you email me and ask for a refund or I will not be able to SLEEP at night.
If it's not a pivotal moment for you and your adult child I. don't. want. your. money.
Immediate refund.
No questions asked. No hard feelings. No awkwardness.
You either love these conversation starters or you don't even pay ONE penny!
