Parents are used to asking the very obvious and general question, ‘How was School today?’ this does not help your child express him/herself in a manner that better explains how the school day went. “To learn more about your children’s day in school, you have to be intentional and switch up the questions you ask and often avoid asking questions that the response could be ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Try asking again later in the day, perhaps at dinner or before bed. What questions did you ask at school today? Try a few of these questions each day and watch your child express themselves the way you will be proud of.”
