Better Questions to Ask your Child about School

I often hear, "Ask open-ended questions to get  a better response."  How do I do this? Here are some ideas from the National Society of Learning Disabilities... ...

•  What was the most interesting thing your teacher said today?
• Who sat  next to you at lunch?
• What were most people eating at lunch?
• What's the biggest difference between last year and this year?
• Who did you like talking to the most?
• What does your teacher say is the most important rule?
• What was the best game at recess?

This article points out that during unstructured times  (recess, lunch) are when more negative  social experiences occur so asking about these times will enlighten you.
