Questions to ask 6 year olds: 9 Cool Questions to Ask Your Kid

42. How are you doing today?

43. What do you like to do the most?

44. How old is Grandma/Grandpa?

45. What car are you going to drive when you grow older?

I hope this list comes in handy for those dreaded times when kids just don’t seem to keep to themselves, and you must attend to something more important.

UPDATE: We’ve got this book with funny questions and we’re all playing them as a family now on weekends and on game nights; it’s called 501 Would Rather Question – It’s great for all aged kids and this FREE app from Amazon called Riddles Brain Teasers Quiz Game with funny riddles for everyone!

21 Questions Your Son Really Needs You to Ask Him

byLisa

He is not exactly a big talker. 

That son of mine.

He is kind, thoughtful, and a man of action.

But not necessarily a talker.

More of the strong, silent type, if you know what  I mean?

And I don’t mind it so much that he doesn’t say a whole lot. I tell him that’s fine by me.

He doesn’t have to be a talker . . . but he does need to be a communicator.  

Not merely for my sake, but for the sake of his friendships and future relationships. Because even at the age of 12, this young man already knows he hopes to marry and become a family man someday.

Just like his dad.

And marriage requires communication.

And parenting requires communication.

And friendship requires communication.

So this sweet guy of mine is learning to communicate. We’re practicing now with our eye on the future.

And you know what I’ve found? I’ve discovered that what works best is if I ask him the questions.

He needs me to start the conversation. 

 21 Questions Your Son Needs You to Ask

1. What would you say was the best day of your life so far?
2. What was the worst day of your life…and why?
3. If you could pick one meal for me to make you, what would it be?
4.  What mountain do you wish you could climb?
5.  What do you admire most about your dad?
6.   What kind of music moves you?
7.   What is your favorite Scripture verse? And why that one?
8.  What things does your sister do that frustrate (or encourage) you?
9.  And what does your brother do that annoys (helps) you?
10.   What do you think you’d like to do for a job when you get older?
11.   Why did that (movie, song, conversation. etc.) disturb you?
12.   What’s the best thing about being a part of our family?
13.   What’s the hardest part about being a middle child (or youngest, oldest, only) in our family?
14.   What sorts of things in this world make you angry? Wish you could fix it?
15.   Can you describe what the perfect day would look like to you?
16.   What would you say are your top 3 movies? And what is it about them that you like?
17.   What skill do you wish you could be better at? What can we do to help you improve it?
18.   What kinds of things make you want to cry?
19.   What character qualities do you especially appreciate in a friend?
20.   What do you wish I understood better about you?
21.   Do you know how much I love you?

So I ask the questions and then try to listen with all of my heart.

Ask, and then listen…

Because when our oldest son left for college and I asked him what was the most loving thing I’ve ever done for him as his mom?

He said it was that I listened.

I don’t want ever to forget that.

So ask your son what’s on his mind. What’s on his heart?

Then listen to what he has to say.

Communicate and build a close relationship.

He needs you, mom.

Sometimes more than he can say.

In His grace,

35 questions that a child must answer at the age of 6

Olga Kramarevich

Does the child go to first grade in a couple of months? He is already so mature and independent. Soon he will begin to gnaw on science and absorb knowledge … Many mothers are very worried whether the baby is ready for school, whether it will not be hard for him there. The issue of a child’s readiness for school is very important, since the first impression of the school, and the subsequent desire or unwillingness to attend it, as well as success, depend on readiness. Experts (teachers and psychologists) will help you find out how ready your child is for school. At the same time, psychological readiness for school is a very important aspect, so you should not neglect it.

Today we offer you to test the general erudition of your “5 minutes to five” schoolchild, his general level of thinking, and horizons. To do this, we offer a list of 35 questions that a child of 6 years old should answer:

1. What is your name? Your last name? Middle name?
2. How old are you, how old will you be in a year, and in 2 years?
3. When is your birthday?
4. What is your mother’s name? Full name with surname and patronymic.
5. What is the father’s name? Full name with surname and patronymic.
6. When is your mother’s birthday? (only the month is enough)
7. When is your father’s birthday? (it is enough to name only the month)
8. Where do your parents work? By whom?
9. What country do we live in?
10. What is the name of the city where you live?
11. Give me your address, mother’s or father’s telephone number.
12. What to do if suddenly you are lost?
13. What to do if you cut yourself?
14. How much does a loaf of white (gray) bread cost?
15. Does the apartment smell of gas? What to do?
16. What to do if you hurt a friend?
17. Where is the ice thicker – near the shore or in the middle of the reservoir?
18. Why can’t we, as visitors, feed animals at the zoo?
19. What day is it today? And what will be tomorrow? What was it like yesterday?
20. Name the seasons.
21. How are squirrels and crows similar and different?
22. How to call it in one word: pear, rose, nettle, oak?
23. Why is the barrier lowered before the train leaves?
24. What time is it?
25. What time do you go to bed?
26. What is the name of a baby cow, sheep, horse?
27. Why does a car need brakes?
28. What do hammers and axes have in common?
29. What is the difference between a nail and a bolt? How to distinguish them?
30. Name 5 domestic and 5 wild animals.
31. Name 5 cities.
32. What types of transport do you know?
33. What is the difference between an old person and a young one?
34. Why go in for sports?
35. Why go to school?

Pay attention if the child cannot answer most of these questions. Perhaps he should study more, or maybe he does not understand what he is being asked, or perhaps he simply does not want to answer … If only a few questions remain without the correct answer, then your 6-year-old has a broad outlook and has a fairly high erudition .
