Talking to your child about school
When we ask children, ‘How was your day?’ it can sometimes feel to them like a huge question – if they did many different things and felt different ways at different points in the day, it might seem overwhelming to decide which answer to give. They might not yet understand that we mean ‘in general’ how was their day. A good tip is to be more specific, for example:
Can you remember one thing that made you feel happy at school today?
Did anything make you sad?
Which activity made you smile?
Another great tip is to share and model your own response to questions first. For example,
I had a chicken sandwich and then a banana for my lunch today. What did you have for lunch?
I felt so happy today when my friend at work helped me with an important job. Did anything make you happy in school today?
One or two questions may be a limit for most children - a full day in school can be quite exhausting after all!
We have been busy bees exploring our new Reception classrooms!
