Do you ever ask your child what they did at school today and they say 'nothing'? You absolutely know that is not true, what they are really saying is, 'I can't be bothered to talk about it.' As a parent, all we want to know is that they had a good day and you want to hear about it. You could try coming from a different angle and ask some thought provoking questions instead, try not to direct them at your children, ask the adults in the family as well. Make the questions conversation starters around the dinner table at night to add to the enjoyment of eating together. Below are a few questions that any child would love to answer:

What was something today that made you laugh out loud?

Did you help anyone today, or did anyone do something kind for you?

What was the hardest thing you tried to do today?

If you could replay one moment from today, which part would you choose?

Enjoy and laugh together as a family!

Our thought of the week is:

The shared laughter of a family is the sweetest music a home can hold.
