Posted on Feb 21, 2019 | 0 comments

I think every parent on the planet asks every day after school “How was your day today?” only to be told “Fine”, “Good”, “Bad” – a one word answer that basically tells us nothing!! You just want to hear about their day and get your child talking!

It can be uber frustrating when you are really wanting to know what they have been up to or how they are, right?

Conscious parenting is all about finding the right balance and the right way with your children. So here are 20 other questions you can ask when you meet after school that will get your child talking all about their day with you!
