Just before children go to sleep, they have a short period of time during which they want to spend a few more minutes with you. Before you kiss them goodnight, stay a few extra minutes with your little one, despite the tiredness. Take the time to ask him about four things about his day. The answers will reveal a lot about the personality, the relationship he has with others, but also about the feelings he has started to have in relation to others.
1. What did you like most today?
This question helps the child focus on some of the most beautiful moments of the day and describe them to you. This way you will sleep with positive thoughts in your mind.
2. What was the moment you didn't like very much?
From this answer, you can understand what is bothering your child. Also if he felt bad during the day. It is good to explain to them that a day can never be perfect, but there are different moments. Also, you can put them at ease by telling them that tomorrow can only hold positive surprises for them. The latter should even become a daily motto.
3. What bothered you today?
This question lets them know that you are the closest person they can talk to about their concerns. Stand by them to listen, not to criticize and shout. Make the child feel safe, so that he builds confidence and is not afraid to speak in front of you.
4. Did you help the teacher, what about your classmates?
Solidarity, empathy and love are three values ??that children should learn from an early age. Giving is not a bad thing, so even children should learn from an early age that they should help and cooperate in a group. And the best place to learn something like that is school.
Their answers will make you understand many things about them, as well as about everyday life. Things that bother him and things he likes. Also, the answers can raise other questions, through which you can talk to your child about different concepts such as violence, threat, values, society, mimicry and being different.
