FREE - Question Cards Full

Most parents ask: "How was your day?" and get "Fine."

Teachers ask differently. Not because we know your child better, but because we've learned which questions actually get children talking. This guide gives you 21 of those questions, organised by moment, with the exact phrase to say after your child answers.

What's Inside

7 categories. 3 questions each.

• At Dinner: questions that turn "how was your day" into a real conversation
• At Bedtime: questions that change what your child takes to sleep
• After School: questions that get past "nothing" and "fine"
• In the Morning: questions that set up the whole day before it starts
• When they're Upset: questions that help them process without you fixing it
• When they've Given Up: questions that bring them back without pressure
• When they Won't Talk: questions for the child who answers everything with one word

Every question includes why it works and the follow-up phrase to say after they answer. The follow-up is just as important as the question.

A 10-page full guide! Every question with a detailed teacher explanation of why it works and how to use it.

Who This Is For

This guide is for you if:

• Your child says "fine" or "nothing" when you ask about their day
• You want better conversations but don't know what to ask
• Reading time, homework, or bedtime regularly ends in frustration
• You want to understand what teachers do differently and why it works

Pick one category. Ask one question. That's enough. Children open up when there's space, not pressure.

Created by an Australian primary school teacher who uses these questions in the classroom every single day.
