Some parents often complain about the difficulty of taking children to talk about the day. In fact, parents need to know what is happening in your child's life. When he refused to tell the day, do not necessarily blame the child is covered. Could be, how to ask us, as a parent who is not perfect yet.

Michele Borba, Ed.D., from GalTime.com suggested to use various strategies to communicate with the child. Find the most appropriate for you and your baby, and practice it over and over again to become something quite natural. The following tips:

1. Do not immediately confronting. Once he got to the house or sitting in your car, do not directly attack him with questions about the day. Generally, children feel tired and listless so I got home. So, wait at least 30 minutes prior to start a conversation about the day. Give him a chance to calm down, eat a little snack, and rest awhile.

2. Do not change the conversation to be a schoolgirl in the house. Just imagine what you need to be able to express your heart's content at her age? Just like a child, he does not like if her parents insist, joking that is offensive, threatening, accusing, lecturing, or scold.

3. Give your full attention. Think what if your friend asks about your day. Use that example. Make sure you are in a state of calm, seemed sincere, and interested in the story of the little guy. Of course this will be seen from your body language. Do not let your busy playing a BlackBerry or up-an while he was telling.

4. Open question. Do not give the questions can be answered with "yes" or "no." Make the questions that are open, do not that can be answered and then only briefly.

5. Do not ask the same question. Children who are a little big will "ilfeel" if you ask a question that was predictable, like "How was school?" So, try to be creative. Change how to ask or question to make your child know that you are interested.

6. Stop and listen. Once the child starts to open his mouth to tell about the day or school, stop doing whatever you are doing, and give full attention. Catch the slightest information to you ask him again and give the expression that you are interested. He will open as soon as he knows that you are interested.

7. Stretch a conversation with a question inviting. If the child share the details, try using the method of stretching. That is, do not force or prying, but use said connector, such as, 'Anyway? "," Yes, "or" Wow, how could so, yes? " Such questions are not threatening, but invite your child to tell stories.

8. Repeating his words. Try again remark that he made. For example, "I play swing in the garden." You can reply, "You play on the swings?" This trick will attract interest of the child to open up to you.

9. The house is fun for the kids. Most parents feel they know more about her from friends of the child. So, try to make the home more pleasant to visit friends of the child. Invite friends of the child, fill the refrigerator with food fun. Prepare a basket or a basket of other toys that can be done by the child with her friends. When his friends play, try to be friendly to his friends. Not only his friends who will share their stories, but the child can be part of it into the conversation.

10. Info relating to the school. Find out anything related to the school. Whether it's by following the parents' associations, or ask the school newsletter is sent if any. Do not hesitate to find out about the state of class teacher and the child of another parent or guardian class.

11. Know your child's daily time. Find out when the child is the most easy to talk to. All day in school, just got home, he usually does what, or when he used to socialize, find it and get to know her spare time.

12. Sitting side by side. Boys do tend to be closed. Children who are sensitive would feel scared if her parents took her seat and said, "Here, Mama wants to talk about your day." Try to go to it, sitting next to him, do the opposite, because he will see it as a threat or judgments.

13. Know her favorite. Some children, especially boys easier to open when he talked about himself while doing something he loves, like throwing a basketball, eating ice cream, drawing, or build Lego.

14. Enter yourself in conversation. With the start you told me about your day, your child can follow the story felt like sharing. This you can do while having dinner together. It would be better if the father also shared stories day follow-up.
