The school holidays are over and the children are back at school. With this, the phrase ``How was school?'' returns to parents' vocabulary, but it is as worn as school benches. Because he doesn't have a real "man", the children's response is usually "robotic", superficial. "Fine" and "OK" are at the top of the list, but they don't say anything concrete. Parents would like at least a sentence. But the key to this is not drilling, but asking.
Therefore, they must equip themselves with better ones, with questions, which will encourage the child at least enough to honor you with more than just a polite word. For those of you who are faced with this, we have prepared a real little list of questions that will get a lot more out of the child than generic ones. "How was school today?". These are questions that are springboards for longer ones as well conversation.
