But ask consent before asking personal questions

Getting to know your child might mean unknowingly diving into questions your child isn’t comfortable answering. Before asking personal questions, Gamboni suggests asking consent to see if your child is OK with the direction the conversation is headed. “Asking consent before asking questions allows the person to give consent and prepare for the topic that is about to be addressed,” Gamboni said. “I think you run into a boundary violation when you jump into a topic without asking for consent and jumping into a topic that could be crossing the line. Everyone has their own definition of what that line is.”
