[quote=Anonymous]Try not to interrogate especially right after school. How was your day? and follow by a bunch of questions. Some kids hate to answer all these questions. They just left school, what makes you think they want to talk about it. It's like work, I don't like to talk about work after I leave work. So, what I've been doing if I get short answers of yes/no, is to just talk about other stuff. Anything. Leave the real talking right before bed and after reading. My son loves to talk then with or without cuddling. At some point, make it funny. Sometimes, you are just too tired to talk so just let it be. I also reference my own childhood so he gets an understanding of how you are as a child. You are not just the adult who demands and tell them what to do. At some point in your life, you were just like your child to some degree and you had parents telling you what to do back then. [/quote]
