My thirteen-year-old daughter Masha is returning home. "How are things at school?" I ask. "Aa … ok …," - only Masha says. Does this sound familiar to you?
Oh, how I remember those golden days of elementary school, when my daughter ran home and talked excitedly, talked about the lessons, the teacher, classmates, about victories and sorrows. Asked, consulted.
The daughter became a teenager, her mother's harassment is boring and boring. Every time I hear “good” and “normal”. And I want to know the details, HOW is there at school.
How to ask about school affairs without asking a bored question?
Here are 25 more interesting questions that will help you talk to your teen about the events in the class, or at least hear the answer in length of one word. To use it like this: one day - one question.
- What made you happy (upset) at school today?
- If you are stuck in an elevator with one of the teachers, then let it be who?
- What made you laugh at school?
- What's your favorite classroom at school?
- If I meet your classmate Valya (insert the correct name) today, what will he say about you?
- Tell us something strange and unusual that happened / happened at school today.
- How did you help someone today?
- Who helped you today? With what?
- Who pissed you off today? With what?
- Would you like to move in class closer to someone (away from someone)?
- What lesson were you bored in today?
- If a spaceship with aliens flew in and spotlighted someone from the school, who would you like the ship to pick up and take away?
- Tell me what you first noticed today.
- Who surprised you today?
- What do you think was worth working out longer?
- What do you think was worth doing less today?
- Say three C words that characterize school today? (substitute any letter)
- If you had to study geography tomorrow (mathematics, art, etc., according to the schedule of the past school day), how would you do it?
- What was your favorite lunch dish?
- Where do you prefer to take the break?
- Who would you swap places in class with? And why?
- Which classmate do you think should be sent out the door?
- If you were given a remote control to mute speech, who would you mute?
- If you had a mind reading machine, whose thoughts would you read today?
- If you were to compose ditties, about what educational topic from today's you would have composed a ditty? Let's compose!
In my experience, questions # 12, # 14, # 17, # 24 evoke the most lively response.
The question about the aliens gives a chance to act out the dissatisfaction with someone in an offensive manner. And the answers to question number 14 - about surprise helps me to check out how observant and attentive to small details our children are.
Question # 2 clarifies which of the teachers creates the most comfortable, trusting atmosphere for the child. I will go to this teacher when the need arises for advice. And you can laugh at imaginary scenes in the elevator.
Well, questions like No. 22, No. 23, No. 24 - about relationships, a seed for touching an exciting topic for a teenager.
As the child grows up, it is necessary to exercise imagination in order to maintain lively contact.
You can add your questions to the list.
