What Happened At School Today?

Want more insight into what's happening during your child's day? Ask these questions and you might be surprised at the answers! Keep the questions open-ended and be careful not to inadvertantly provide answers. Often, children tell adults what they think they want to hear.

  • Did anything worry you today?

  • Who did you play with outdoors? How about indoors?

  • I had _____ for lunch. What did you have?

  • Which toy did you take with you at naptime?

  • I wonder if you wore something from the dress-up box today. . .

  • Tell me something funny that happened.

  • Who was happy today? Who felt sad?

  • What stories did you hear? Can you tell me one?
