I often wonder the planning that is involved in formulating a question. As a Child Development Specialist, I oftentimes listen in on conversations that parents are having with their children and their need to respond to the question as quickly as possible.
Before you ask your child a question, make sure that you set your children up for success. Here are a few tips to help with this task:
1. Discover what they know or can remember. (Do you remember what happened to the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz?)
2. Find out what piqued their interest. (What was your favorite part of the movie? Why was it your favorite part?)
3. Develop ideologies and beliefs. (Why is it important to be courteous to those that are older than us? Why should you always be share your belongings at school?)
4. Test achievement. (What are some things that you would do to make your school lunch more enjoyable?)
5. Allow them to think critically. (How can the community come together to solve the problem of traffic in this city?)
With these helpful tips, you will build a more confident and aware young child!
