If “How was school?” usually gets you a one-word answer, try changing the question.

Instead of asking for a summary of the whole day, give kids something specific to think about! These questions can help us connect while also helping kids recognize something important:

“I handled something hard.”

“I figured something out.”

“I’m capable.”

That’s one of the goals behind the Love and Logic approach, using empathy and thoughtful questions to help kids think, solve problems, and build confidence.

Empathy first.
Questions next.

Which of these three questions are you going to try first?
