Ask your child this question, and he will no doubt respond with,”Nothing.”

Today, in School

I propose that you try a variation, something like:

• Who taught you something today? What did you learn?
• To whom did you teach something? What did you teach?
• Tell me about something that you created today.
• What or who challenged you today? Who did you challenge?
• Tell me about a person to whom you spoke for the first time today.
• Tell me a question that you asked.  Tell me about the answer.
•        Who were you kind to today? How were you kind?
•        What did you enjoy most about today? Why was it enjoyable?
• Tell me about a question that you answered.
•        What did you notice today that you have never noticed before?
• What did you do well today? What will you do better tomorrow?
• Tell me what you expect to learn tomorrow.

Ask these questions frequently, and watch how the answers change.
