maybe one way to engage in R talk without actually talking about it is discussing some future event. Is there something in your family's life that is coming up? A trip? A ball game? A play? Something that has you talking about something that is happening in the future?

That's something that broke the ice for me. We talked about an event that was to happen in a few months and that started a little of the talk.
