\"Questions<\/figure>

When your kiddo gets home from school, one of the first question you ask them is how their day was. Your preschooler will most likely answer with a short response such as \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad.\u201d Encourage your little one to expand their thoughts by asking questions that allow them to respond with more than just a simple word. Try asking these questions to engage in more conversation with your child!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was something you learned today that you thought was super cool?\u201d <\/span><\/h4>\n

Asking questions that focus on a particular topic encourages your preschooler to respond with a longer answer. For example, your child may reply to this sentence by saying that they really enjoyed their gym\u00a0class<\/a> because they played their favorite game. This is the perfect time to ask follow-up questions. Try asking them questions such as why they enjoyed that particular activity. You are accustomed to your child constantly asking \u201cwhy\u201d– Now it\u2019s your turn!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow were you able to help someone today\u201d?<\/span><\/h4>\n

This question makes your child think of ways that they helped or could have helped their peers. Asking these types of questions helps to remind your child that helping others should be an important and fun part of their day! You could also follow up by asking how the person who was helped felt and how they made your preschooler feel. Your child most likely felt happy, meaning that you can encourage them to help their peers!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDid something make you mad today?\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s always good to know what pushes your child\u2019s buttons as a parent. Your child\u2019s development is your priority, and it\u2019s important that you understand your preschooler emotionally. Ask your child this question to take a deeper look at their pet peeves. For example, their response might mention that they were bullied or saw their friend being bullied. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk to your child about bullying and tell them that it is not okay. This also gives you the chance to help your little one overcome the struggles that young children face in school. <\/span><\/p>\n

By asking more thoughtful questions, you can open up communication between you and your child. Hopefully, those one word answers will be a thing of the past!<\/span><\/p>\n
