A way to find out how your child is doing at school without asking the typical question: a parental trick
There is a reason why parents ask, "How are things at school?" when their children get home. It is not only a right to know, but also an opportunity to anticipate trouble.
The troubles can be different: from poor academic performance to difficult relationships with classmates or teachers.
If suddenly parents suspect something bad, and in response they hear “normal”, then you can cheat.
Parenting Trick
In such cases, experts advise to stop asking the typical question and resort to trickery.
First, you can ask directly what good/bad happened at school today.
Secondly, you can ask who the child is friends with, wants to be friends with, and who, on the contrary, he avoids contact with.
Thirdly, you can ask who the child helped with the task, gave hints, or who gave hints to him.
Fourthly, ask him what new things he learned in class today and whether he is bored in school lessons.
Fifth, ask your child if he or she wants to become a teacher and, for example, work at the school where he or she studies.
These simple and open questions will help parents extract a lot of useful information from an uncooperative schoolchild and make an important decision in time.
