Question: What can you
ask about your children’s school day beside “What did you do in school today?”
Answer/Quote: “ ‘What did
you do in school today?’ If your children answer ‘nothing,’ maybe you should
try a new question.
“Beginning your after-school
conversation with ‘What was the best part of your school day?’ will yield
totally different and more productive responses.
“In the end, the goal is having time
each day to talk with your child about what is significant during the hours at
school. An open-ended question asked with genuine, nonjudgmental interest in
the answer will start the school year off brilliantly.”

Question.” Ruth Larson. Reading Today
