How was school today? I can’t possibly be the only parent who asks this only to get a dry answer like “it was okay”. Here it was, I thought this was a loaded question that allowed my son the opportunity to tell me everything that happened from the first bell to the last. Apparently not. After some poking and prodding I discovered a series of questions that will allow you to get the kiddos to open up more. Check them out and tell me if they worked for you!
