You can start with the simple stuff, like “what’s you favourite colour?” “what’s you favourite movie?” and move onto something like, “is there anything important that’s happening with you?” It’s all pretty simple, but that’s kind of the point.

But kids love to answer questions, so as long as you can do that, you can make that situation a little less weird.
