How to Ask Your Child About School

     I'm sure you've eagerly asked your child, "how was school today?"  And I'm also sure they've given you the ever boring, "fine," or "OK," or "good."  Or what about the ever famous (and my favorite), "what did you to today?" And your child responds, "nothing..."  I am hear to reassure you, that simply isn't true!

     As a teacher I do my best to make each day welcoming and structured, so I too would like for your child to tell you a little bit more about their day.  Recently, a teacher turned mom wrote a blog post titled "25 Ways To Ask your Kids How Was School Today," so visit her list (by clicking the previous link) if you're looking for some new ways to create conversations or open lines of communication at your house!  You can also visit the full story/view the video at this media link:  http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/not-having-luck-asking-kids-so-how-was-school-today-n197136.
