How were you brave today?
How were you kind today?
How did you fail today?
The fall back parent question, "What did you do in school today?" often elicits the fallback kid response, "Nothing." or "Stuff." I can only imagine what kind of discussions and conversation could come from these far more revealing questions, and also the opportunity to talk about failure as a positive consequence of trying something new or taking a risk.
I'm going to give it a try when school starts, and see what responses I get from Parker kids. I think I'll also try answering these for myself!
