[quote=Anonymous]My 6 yo boy isn't a huge talker either but I find two things that have worked. I ask specific questions. Not open-ended. If I ask how his day was, it's always just 'good'. But, if I ask 'Whata did you play at recess?' or 'Who did you sit next to at lunch?' or 'What Math Tub did you get in Math Centers today?'... It sometimes leads to more talking. Sometimes he straight up says he doesn't feel like talking and then I back off. I sit with him at bedtime and scratch his back with the lights off. Sometimes he is chatty at that time. Maybe he is just trying to postpone bedtime, but whatever![/quote]
