About this project
How was school?" "Fine."
If that's how your afternoons go, you're not alone. Most kids aren't hiding anything. The question is just so familiar that "Fine" becomes the automatic answer.
Stop Asking "How Was School?" is a short, easy-to-read book for parents who want their children to open up. In 15 illustrated chapters, you'll learn why kids shut down after school and which questions invite real stories instead:
???? "What made you laugh today?"
???? "Who did you sit with at lunch?"
???? "What was the hardest part of today?"
???? "Did anything surprise you today?"
You'll also learn how to listen without rushing to fix things, so your child feels safe sharing both the big things and the little ones.
