Every Friday after the meal, my father gave us a subject. Then we all talked about it.
Everyone got a turn to talk. We felt heard. We felt together. And each of us grew our own opinions and thoughts along the way.
He still does it today. When I come over with my kids, they're part of it now.
I wanted that feeling for my own kids. I couldn't do it like him.
Quotes were too short. One line and there's nothing left to talk about. Books and podcasts were too long for the few minutes we actually get together.
I wanted something in the middle. One sharp idea I can read in a few minutes, explain to my kids in plain words, and turn into a real conversation. And not from one direction. From a lot of them.
That's where Tovana came from.
The paper version is a book: What Do You Think?, one big idea a day for the family.
