3. Talk about the day — but not too much
Open questions work best. Try these instead of “How was school?”:
- What made you laugh today? It keeps the talk light and positive.
- Who did you sit with at lunch? It helps you learn about new friends.
- What was the hardest part? It shows you are ready to listen.
4. Join in with the school community
