Talking to our kiddos about their school day

1/1/2017

Talking to our kiddos about their day at school is important.  “Did you have a good day?” seems to be the automatic question we all ask, but it is important as parents to elicit more of a response.  We want kiddos to learn to tell us about things, not just answer questions with one word (close ended questions).  Let’s find some open ended questions that get our kids communicating with us! 

Read on for some sample questions.


  1. What was your favorite part of your day?
  2. What was the hardest part of your day?
  3. Did anyone do something that was funny today?
  4. What did you read about at story time/independent reading?
  5. Who did you play with today? What did you play?
  6. What is the biggest difference between last year and this year?
  7. Who did you sit with at lunch?
  8. What did you eat for lunch? Did you like it? (If no, why?)
  9. What do we need to do for homework tonight?
  10. What is something that we could do to make tomorrow an even better day than today?

We always want to use positive language and let our littles know how very proud we are and appreciate them working hard to learn.  

Happy 2016-17 school year friends, let’s make it the best yet!

WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY 

I am so happy with the care my daughter gets here. Everyone is helpful and patient. Amy took extra time 
with me and my wife to explain exactly what was happening with my daughter and explain how therapy was going to help. I love that she involves us in the sessions and we have seen major improvements. I would recommend this clinic to anyone!
-Paul S.
I can't say enough about how much my son has progressed and continues to progress in their care. The love and compassion, professional atmosphere, and top notch therapists make this place the best in central Texas. We are forever grateful to Amy Grant, Miss Angeli, Suzie and Brandi.
