20 ways to ask your kids ‘So how was today?’ without asking them ‘So how was today?’
"Good, Fine, OK, Great."
These are usually the answers we get when we ask our kids "How was your day honey?"
So we thought we'd ask around our FFHQ family for some alternative questions to ask your kids to get those conversations flowing and we've come up with other ways to ask your kids ‘So how was today?’ without asking them ‘So how was today?’
Here are some of the favourite conversation starters with our kids that the FFHQ writers have come up with. They aren’t perfect, but you will at least get complete sentences, and some might lead to some interesting conversations... and hilarious answers... and some insights into how your kids think and feel about school.
