122 questions for kids to inspire conversation
Want some questions for kids that actually get them talking?
To avoid the dreaded "uh-huh" and "nah-uh" answers, Eileen Kennedy-Moore, PhD, a clinical psychologist based in Princeton, New Jersey, tells TODAY.com that parents should ask questions that begin with "what" or "how" to encourage children to give more elaborate answers.
"Open-ended questions give kids the chance to answer more then 'yes' or 'no'," Kennedy-Moore says. "You may be delightfully surprised by your child’s comments or observations."
Of course, you have to tread cautiously. Kennedy-Moore, author of "Kid Confidence: Help Your Child Make Friends, Build Resilience, and Develop Real Self-Esteem," says to beware of one specific word.
"Be careful about asking 'why' questions about your child’s actions," she says. "'Why did you do that?' sounds judgmental, and kids often can’t honestly answer it."
