My kids are getting older now (oldest is 9) and I allocate time at bed time for talking. They have aged out of random questions but we continue with “question time” that is the last thing before “lying down quiet time” so there’s a good incentive to think of questions to delay sleep 😁
That’s a fair approach, I’d say! Though, if they love to hear you talk, and you can spare some time for that, it sounds like a great investment.
But yeah, being quite introverted, I can see it easily crossing the line, too, especially when I’m not up to talking.

Wow, that’s smart lol
Two birds with one stone :)
