Pick a card and see where the question takes you. Nothing is written down or graded. You just talk.
Sometimes it's enough to ask a little differently. The cards ask about specific moments and feelings, which are easier to talk about.
If you were principal for one day, what's the first thing you'd change?
On the back are three follow-up questions to help you carry on. There's also a gentler version of the question.
What's it like when the teacher calls on you and you don't know?
What goes through your head while the teacher is picking who to call on?
Choose from six topics and three levels, from light warm-up questions to the more personal ones. The app has 108 questions, bonus cards with challenges, and Quick Ones, short games that take a few minutes.
Agree on what you want to talk about today. To start, try the “Warm-up” questions.
Read the question and take turns answering it. You can go first, so your kid sees that asking and listening go both ways.
If you want to keep talking, flip the card for more questions or pick a new one. Five minutes is all it takes.
So you both feel safe, even with the questions that aren't easy to answer.
We can say what we really think and how we feel.
We listen and don't interrupt.
If we don't want to talk about something, we skip the question or end the talk.
My name is Dalibor Novák and I made The Two of Us in my spare time, at first just for us at home. I wanted us to talk about something other than homework and dinner, and to make room for the things that are hard to ask about. Once it started working for us, it felt like a waste to keep it to ourselves.
I don't want to make money on this app. It's free, with no ads, no subscription and no data collection, and it will stay that way. The only thing I get out of it is hearing that it helped at your place too.
The questions are written mainly for kids ages six to nine. They can work for younger or older kids too. It depends on what they're into and what they want to talk about. The parent answers as well.
