		<description>I have a set time with each daughter before bed everynight. It usually lasts 20-30 minutes each. I hang out in there room. There is never a set topic - we just go with the flow of conversation</description>

		<description>I keep the lines of communication open with my adult children by respecting their privacy and not sticking my nose where it doesn&#039;t belong.  They know they can come to me and I will be there when they just want someone to listen while they vent as well as if they are looking for advice.</description>

		<description>Some of greatest conversations happened when we&#039;re alone, one on one. So I try to create circumstances where I have some alone time with each of my girls. Not always an easy thing to do when you&#039;re busy :)</description>

		<description>I am younger, so I will tell you how I try to keep communication open with my father.  We live in different states, so between visits, we try and connect in a variety of ways.  First of all, my dad is very good about trying new technologies.  In the last year he has learned to text message - which is a great way to send a quick hello.  We also email and sometimes chat online.  We even used Skype for a while.

I make an effort to call him.  Even when I&#039;m not in the mood to be on the phone, I make myself give him a ring.  I&#039;m always glad that I did.  I think we both try to listen to one another and remain open-minded.  We connect through humor and sarcasm even when the going gets rough.
