And it was exhausting.Īnd I always complain that I live in Texas and in Texas, small talk is more prevalent among strangers than in other places. No one’s going to have any really big, deep conversations while watching a softball game, so it was just a lot of chit-chat all day long. And I thought, maybe it was just because I had to wake up early, but at the end, I realized it was just… Because I had to small-talk with people, nonstop for all of those hours, both days in a row because we were just sitting at the game. The rest of the day, I couldn’t do any feeding of children, we ordered delivery and it completely killed me. I ended up on the couch, covered with my weighted blanket, with an iced coffee. I was like, “I could just do this all day.”Īnd then the minute that I got home on the second day, I completely crashed, like my whole body shut down. ![]() I was just sitting there, hanging out, watching the game, chatting with the other parents. One example was my daughter, she plays softball and we recently had a tournament and she had seven games in one weekend because they did well. And then there are times where talking to someone just sucks the life out of me and takes all of my energy away. I mentioned that in my conversation with Madalyn a few episodes back, and one of the things I love about my friendship with Madalyn is that we do get into really deep, big conversations on the regular and it is so… It adds such a depth and happiness to my life that I can’t really explain, so she’s amazing.Īnd it always fascinates me as an introvert, how I can get into a really deep conversation with someone for a really long time, and feel energized by it and motivated by it, and could keep talking all night. So, we’re going to kind of talk about the topic for a while, and then near the end of the episode, we will talk about some strategies that you can use in your classroom to help develop these skills in your students. Today, what we’re going to talk about is small talk versus big talk, and how to go beyond small talk to have deeper, more meaningful conversations, and how to teach our students to have deeper and more meaningful conversations too.
