Alternatives to 'How Was School'
Asking kids and teens, “How was school?” or “How are you?” often leads to one-word answers like the dreaded “fine” or “good” - that’s often not because they don’t want to talk. The truth is, school often feels the same day to day, and giving a different answer every time can feel difficult.
Instead of focusing only on what kids do, we can ask questions that show we care about who they are and how they think. Thoughtful, open-ended questions invite kids to share their perspectives, values, and emotions—not just a summary of their schedule. This resource provides information and dozens of prompts to support families to implement meaningful check-ins with each other.
