Get a sense of your child's life at school by asking questions that elicit more than a one-word response.
The trick is to ask about things that are specific, but still open-ended. It is also great to start the conversation with something from your own day. Try one of these conversation starters.
1. Tell me about the best part of your day.
2. What was the hardest thing you had to do today?
3. Did any of your classmates do anything funny?
4. Tell me about what you read in class.
5. Who did you play with today? What did you play?
6. Do you think math (or any other subject) is too easy or too hard?
7. What is the biggest difference between this year and last year?
8. What rules are different at school than our rules at home? Do you think they are fair?
9. Who did you sit beside at lunch?
10. Can you show me something you learned (or did) today?
