- We often expect children to be extroverted and to give the bright, happy and fun answers. We ask questions in such a way that forces them to give answers that tends to favour extroverts. - The questions we ask could be a lot more neutral and tailored for thoughtful responses with an emphasis on reflection. --- Ask your child for information in a gentle, nonjudgmental way, with specific, clear questions. Instead of “How was your day?” try “What did you do in math class today?” Instead of “Do you like your teacher?” ask “What do you like about your teacher?” Or “What do you not like so much?” Let her take her time to answer. Try to avoid asking, in the overly bright voice of parents everywhere, “Did you have fun in school today?!” She’ll sense how important it is that the answer be yes - [[Quiet]]
