I have two alienated daughters - their mother (my ex wife) is bitter and has been alienating the girls (18 and 16) from me for 10+ years. Thank goodness for the (sometimes) blessing of divorce. I sent them the parent/child talking cards and said “let’s get together and do these cards” as I regularly send them gifts, money, cosmetics, books, food etc….
Love the heartfelt messages - the company tone reassures the customer that human connection matters at the organization’s highest levels.
Love the cards. Love the one pepper/two pepper levels for the cards. Love the bonding my wife and I shared when sharing the cards on Christmas Day w our adult daughter.
The cards are so cool and the customer service was above and beyond

I had been searching for a special gift for a son who has a blended family, and this was THE PERFECT thing!

Hi Yana,
I'm so sorry you haven’t received your order yet. That definitely shouldn’t be the case. I just replied to your email so we can get this sorted out together.
It looks like we’ve shipped your order twice now, and both times the tracking shows it was delivered to the front desk, possibly to the wrong address. I’d love your help confirming your best address so we can make sure the next shipment reaches you safely.
Thank you so much for your patience and for supporting our small family business. It means the world to my parents and me, and I promise we'll make this right for you!

My child and I love these, I'm learning alot from her. It's hard sometimes to delve into a child's mind. These help so much.

Safe and short prompts to re-engage with parents
The “parents are human” deck has been instrumental to bring more warmth in the discussions with my elderly parents. It is also very helpful that other languages are available.
The physical cards are great quality and the design is modern and engaging.
I’ve ordered the “children are humans “ too!

We’re so grateful to hear this. ❤️ The thought of your family sharing those warm moments together - especially across generations and languages - means everything to us. Thank you for inviting our cards into your home!
What a great idea to gamify getting along with your roommate. Sometimes asking hard questions are, well, hard. So having them in the form of a game of cards is easier.
Reply from Parents Are Human2025-11-11
We love hearing this! 😊 Sometimes the hardest conversations become the easiest when play is involved. Thank you for sharing how you’re using the cards, it made our day!
Thank you so much! 💛 We really appreciate your support and are so glad you had a positive experience with both our decks and our team.

Best card sets
I recently bought a few of these card sets (for Parents, Partners, and Grief), and I’m so impressed. I’ve owned conversation cards before, but these really stand out—the questions have much more depth and variety. You can tell they’ve been thought out with real care, designed to open up meaningful, authentic dialogue rather than just surface-level chatter.
The print and card stock are also excellent quality—you feel it the moment you hold them. They’ve already sparked new conversations in my life and helped me feel closer to the people I care about. I even ended up buying extras to give as gifts because I think they’re that good.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these to anyone who wants a thoughtful way to connect more deeply with loved ones.

Great purchase experience
The founder is super nice as he himself responded to me inquiry. It looks like they are a family run business and great to support!
What a clever idea these are. We haven’t used them yet but we are looking forward to them. Came at a perfect moment as well. Even after 27 years there is always room for thought provoking questions and reminders. Great gift idea as well!
GAMECHANGER for social workers/mental health therapists!
I’ve been using these card decks as therapeutic interventions, and let me tell you, the kids and teenagers absolutely love it! Not only is it thought-provoking and stimulating, but it helps built trust in the therapeutic relationship because it allows my clients to also get to know me better. I am also admittedly just as entertained by their answers, as I am impressed by them. It may surprise you how enthralled and engaged they’ll be with these card decks.
My partner and I are loving the deck and love that we are supporting a thoughtful small business! I recommend these cards to all of my friends. The questions are very thoughtful and fun to answer and are helping me learn more about me and my partner in such a sweet way. Thanks for your creation and for sharing it with the world!
