The product is a tool that helps foster communication between parents and their children as follows:

creating a relationship between parent and child
putting topics on the table that children would want to discuss with their parents

This tool challenges parents to conflict-free alone time with their children individually and to acquire the skills to actively listen to their children. The cards create a platform where your children can communicate their honest opinions, needs, and feelings without the parent airing their opinion or advice.

Why is communication necessary? Children have a need to spend alone time with their parents, individually, without a brother or sister. This quality alone time with a parent makes them feel loved, special and secure. Every child has a need for their opinions and feelings and needs to be heard, recognised, and respected even if their parents do not agree with it. If parents allow children to air their frustrations, feelings, needs and wishes and be honest with them, they create a platform where children can feel safe to be open and honest while communicating with their parents. Parents can in turn help their children to talk about their negative feelings as well as experiences in a healthy way to process these feelings instead of suppressing them through drugs, alcohol, or other means that may cause depression.

It is important for us that parents will be informed and equipped to use this product correctly and with care. Hence the boxes with the cards are only sold during workshops. As a parent you only have one chance. To ensure that you do not miss it, we wish to inform you and equip you for this enormous challenge before you approach it.

Dare2Share Box (English Cards)

The objective is to create a daily intimate sharing time (make a “date”) that will suit both partners where they can quietly sit (make a cup of coffee), draw a card and discuss the contents with each other. Couples can even place the box on the nightstand next to the bed or at a place where they can be private and regularly enjoy it! It is imperative that couples undertake to go through all the cards until the end!

The cards are in a specific sequence and the questions are progressively intense and more sensitive! It is therefore suggested that patience be displayed and the sequence be followed, in order not to jeopardise the series! Romantic suggestions and ideas in the form of “Dare” cards have been included in order to keep the game exciting and to enable couples to enjoy humour and have fun the way that we believe God intended it to be!

Your Time: Because our lives are so rushed, the first great challenge will be to make time to regularly enjoy the game until the end. This, according to us, is the greatest challenge that couples will be confronted with! Someone once said: “The greatest gift you can give your partner is of your time, because you are then actually giving of your life to your partner.”

Emotional Maturity: What is critical to remember? We go as far as to say “you just have one chance” to win and keep your partners trust and should you fail, it could take months or maybe longer to win it back. Thus be very sensitive as to how you react to the information given by your partner and what you do with it!

Make it enjoyable for each other: Be sensitive to your partner when they aren’t ready to discuss the “deeper issues”. It is advisable to leave the sharing time for that specific day and not to pressurise your partner as it then becomes work and the focus is on fun and “fun time” together! Women are generally always ready for deep, emotional discussions, so be careful not to jeopardise that by being insensitive or inconsiderate.
