Having conversations with your child about school is also a great way for you to get a sense of what is expected of your of them at school and about the challenges they might be facing academically as well as personally on their day to day. Every Child Is Different When picking up your child from school, avoid asking them, how was school? This question is very general and makes children feel like they have to sum up their whole day, which can be challenging for them to do. Every child is different, some are more talkative than others, and it’s important to acknowledge that they may have their own reasons for talking or not talking about what happened in school. Some children feel that their school experiences are private and might have a harder time sharing them. As a parent, knowing what happened in your child’s day is essential and piques your interest, but it’s important to remember that they live their own lives and that giving them their space is also important and healthy. It’s essential to find a balance to prevent your child from losing interest in talking about their day. 1/3

In some cases, children want to share right away what they experienced in their day, but other times, this might not be the case, and that is OK too. There are other moments in the day where you can sit down with your child and talk about their school day. A great way of doing this is by doing an activity together with your child at some point in their day. This could be when playing a game, before reading them their bedtime story or even when they are finished with their homework. Let Them Know Why You Want to Talk about School If your child doesn’t seem to inspired to talk about their day, letting them know why you want to know about it can help. Maybe you want to know who they played with or what happened in a certain class. Letting your child know about the reasons for your interest can help them comprehend you and be more inclined to talk about it. Letting them know you are interested in how they feel and experience things can help them open up.
