Kids are heading Back to School and this year that looks a little (or a lot!) different than in the past. We are parents too, and we know how important it is to stay connected with our kids, even if school is virtual from the living room.

One key to that connection is to keep kids and teens talking. That’s a little difficult around a TV. But gathered around a puzzle, the conversation flows. A puzzle is the perfect way to reconnect, hear about their day and all of the ups, the downs, the struggles, and the triumphs that come with a new school year.

The parents at BetterCo. recommend adding some non-messy snacks to your puzzle time to encourage maximum information flow from your teenagers. And you should absolutely let them place the last piece!

These are a few of our favorite puzzles to work on as a family.
