Asking Questions About Their Day

Do you get a shrug of the shoulders and a "fine," when you ask how your child's day was?

Try asking more specific questions. They can be a mix of open-ended and closed questions to help you engage them in conversation.


  • What was the best part of your day?
  • What is something you would have liked to go differently?
  • Who did you sit with at lunch today?
  • Tell me about something you read in school today.
  • What is something that made you laugh today?

You can extend the conversation based on their answers. Share about your day too!
