20 Questions That Will Get Your Child To Talk About School

20  Questions That Will Get Your Child To Talk About School

I was a lamenting mom when it came to my son’s communication about his school. All I could wring out of him about his school day was ‘Good’ or ‘Bad!’ That, for me was so little. I wanted to know lots, lots more. But he simply did not talk about school with me. So each time I would be blocked out by him, I sought solace in his school’s WhatsApp Group! (I think God made these for Mom’s like me)

I played the musical chairs with him and these (as my son calls them) ‘COP’ like questions for a bit now. So one day I scratched my head and conjured up these 20 QUESTIONS THAT GOT MY CHILD TO TALK ABOUT HIS SCHOOL! Since these are open-ended questions   and I play around with them,  a lot of revelations take place. Oftentimes we land up between fairies and gnomes or The Battle Of The Avengers!
