Questions to ask 5 year olds: 9 Cool Questions to Ask Your Kid

25 Funny Questions to Ask A Toddler

Conducting an informal interview with your little one is a great way to keep up with the memories during the toddler years.  This past week a few friends have been posting on Facebook the funny conversations they have with their kid. I don’t get around to posting my conversations with my daughter on my Facebook timeline, but I do keep a small notebook in the kitchen and jot down some of the things my daughter says. Recently my little notebook of Elena quotes came up missing. (Elena took it because it’s just her size notebook) and so I’ve been scribbling things down on scraps of paper, which just adds to the mess in the kitchen. Tonight I decided to get some quotes and jot them down electronically in this post.

You’ll be pretty surprised by some of her answers.  Maybe my husband and I aren’t as old we feel and are a lot bossier than we think!

5 daily questions to ask your child | PSYCHOLOGY OF COGNITION

There are top lists on the Internet, which contain entire lists of 25 and even 30 questions that psychologists recommend asking their children every day. You probably need to be a super-parent in order, firstly, not to forget all these questions, secondly, to find time to ask them, and, thirdly, I think that a child can simply be “gotten” if he will ask so many questions, he will simply stop answering them, and these questions will no longer make sense and be effective.

Therefore, this article presents 5 questions that will actually make your child more confident, happier, and that will allow parents to keep the situation under control.

The first question is “Are you happy?”.

Parents are often sure that the most important thing is to grow up, go to a kindergarten, then to a development center in order to get a lot of skills and knowledge, then more – the most important thing is to study well at school, then university, etc. Among all the daily problems, children do not have time to deal with their lives, to understand the moment of their happiness. When we ask a child if he is happy or not, we teach him to recognize this happiness, to understand the reasons for happiness or unhappiness, to understand who he really is and what he wants from life. A child learns to find this feeling of happiness among tons of feelings and emotions inside himself, then he will be able to “place” himself in this state at any moment. Over the years, he will not allow himself to be unhappy, will not go to work that makes him unhappy, will not meet people who make him unhappy. He, creating a family and being in this state of happiness, will make everyone around him happy. Therefore, at any time during the day, ask your child the question “Are you happy?”.

The second question is “Are you all right?”. This question can also be asked at any time during the day. There are situations when parents themselves see that their child is somehow sad, thoughtful, so always ask him if he is all right. This allows you to establish parent-child cooperation, the parent is interested and takes the first step, the child may not tell the truth and not immediately answer, but he will have the realization that something is wrong, and he will understand that there are two ways out: either fix the situation yourself, or tell your parents about it and solve the problem together. Together with this question, you have a reason to start a confidential conversation with a child, nothing brings people together like shared values, conversations, time spent together. This question allows children to feel the interest and concern of their parents, to understand that he is significant, that parents want to participate in his life. Parents should not put pressure on the child, not express their assumptions, but simply wait for an answer.

The following questions are best asked in the evening, thus creating your own ritual of talking with your child before bedtime, which will allow you to talk heart to heart and improve parent-child relationships. In addition, the child, answering questions, throws out everything that has accumulated during the day.

The third question is “What was the best thing about your day?”. Children often answer – “That’s it!”. But parents should show by their own example how to answer this question. For example, a parent might respond that the best thing that day was meeting the right person, completing a project successfully, making a successful purchase, having an incredibly delicious pie, or something else. For the first few days, children may not answer or answer in great detail, but over time the situation will change, and they will be happy to talk about their happy moments. This conversation brings parents and children very close, the memories fill everyone with happiness and excellent mood. Children understand what situations bring them happiness, they learn to build events in life according to their importance and significance.

The fourth question is “What was your worst experience?”. Parents also set an example and sincerely share with their child the answer to this question, and the children will reciprocate.

The fifth question is “What would you change?”. At this point, the child analyzes the day, begins to think about what went wrong, and evaluate his options for what he would change.

These evening questions help you dream, share experiences, communicate with each other, get closer and fall asleep in a great mood. There is nothing better for family relationships than trusting, close relationships with your family and loved ones.

Just five questions, and you will see how your child’s quality of life will improve significantly, the amount of stress will decrease, the daily amount of happiness and joy will increase.

The most important task of parents is to make their children and themselves happy!

Stephen Aitchison assumes he knows the secret ingredients of the right question. He created a list of 30 questions that, in his opinion, every person should ask themselves.

I have shortened the list of questions a bit. Initially, it consisted of 34 items. So if you are interested in the full version, check out the author’s blog. I don’t know why exactly 34, but Stephen leaves room for the creativity of his readers and suggests adding to the list he has compiled.

The procedure may not be very pleasant, and the picture that opens up to your eyes is not very rosy. But it is precisely in order to change everything for the better that we ask ourselves the main questions.
