Talking Families Talking Communities
A Calor report in consultation with ChildLine

Is talking losing out nowadays? Have we lost the ability to just sit and have a chat, or spend a few minutes gossiping with our neighbours? Is there evidence that we do really lead such high-octane lives that we have no time to talk? This report includes new research commissioned by Calor and conducted by YouGov into parent/child communication today. It looks at the views of parents and their children - and compares the answers. It also includes enlightening examples of how, when adults and children do get 'talking' it has a really positive effect on families and communities and, advice from ChildLine, on how parents can improve communication with their children.
