How to talk with an eight years old, "very grownup" daughter?

A few weeks ago, my eight years old daughter and me spent some time together in a Shopping mall. After two hours of shopping we stopped for a drink.

Having few sips, my daughter stood up, and was ready to continue the shopping, but I was tired and proposed her to stay and chat a little. Suddenly, she surprised me by saying: Mom, what we can chat about? We never chat...

Actually, i have decided to start writing this Blog after this case. I always felt like there are no challenges we cannot solve if we treat them properly, until my eight years old daughter say has changed this feeling.

Since then i am trying to find a way back to my child, in many ways, spending more time together, like cooking, cycling and so on, but still i feel I have a way to go.
