\"Alternatives<\/figure>

Feel like you get the same response from your preschooler day after day when you ask how her day was at school? \u00a0Here are five questions to ask to find out about your child\u2019s day: <\/span><\/p>\n

Start with, \u201cHow was your day?\u201d <\/span><\/h4>\n

This is a great way to start the routine for your child. \u00a0Once you begin to ask additional questions, he will begin to recognize the pattern. \u00a0Someday, he may actually respond to you with more than just, \u201cgood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened at school today?\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

This question tends to elicit responses about the dramatic excitement between friends, \u201cSam had to sit in time out because he didn\u2019t share his toys with Jake.\u201d \u00a0Then you can ask your child what he thought about the incident. Continue the conversation to ask how they would have handled the same situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did your teacher talk about?\u201d <\/span><\/h4>\n

Instead of, \u201cWhat did you learn in school today?\u201d which may be too hard of a concept at this age, asking what the teacher talked about allows them to share what their teacher is teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you do that was kind today?\u201d <\/span><\/h4>\n

This question encourages your child to consider their actions during the day. \u00a0If you find out they actually pushed someone, then you can talk them through the action and their choices. \u00a0They may respond that others were not kind, but talk to them about what they might do next time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you do that was hard today?\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Help your child celebrate their successes and their perseverance. \u00a0Learn what they find difficult at school and help them at home to overcome their challenges. Practice conversations with your child to help them work through issues they may face with their classmates or work with your child on skills or activity books.<\/span><\/p>\n

Help your child develop their conversation skills by asking different kinds of questions that help them think critically and process their day.<\/span><\/p>\n
