STOP ASKING YOUR SON "HOW WAS SCHOOL."

He will say "fine" every single time.

A child psychologist told me to replace it with one of these 4 instead:

1) What made you laugh today?

My 9-year-old told me about a kid who sneezed milk out of his nose at lunch. Then he told me about the math test he failed. Then he told me his best friend said something mean at recess.

All from one question.

"Fine" is a wall. Laughter is a door.

2) Who did you sit with at lunch?"

This one broke me. He said "nobody" on a Tuesday in July. I almost dropped the Walmart bag I was carrying.
I called his teacher the next morning. Turns out three boys had been excluding him for weeks.

He never would have told me if I'd asked "how was school."

3) What was the hardest part of today?

He said gym class. I asked why. He said a kid told him he runs weird.

We practiced running in the backyard that evening. Just us. No pressure.

The next week he came home and said "I was fastest today."

He didn't need me to fix it. He needed me to know about it.

4) Did anything surprise you?

This question works because kids don't expect it. It skips past the script they've rehearsed in the car.

My son said "yeah, Mrs. Patterson cried during read-aloud." That turned into a 20-minute conversation about empathy.

From a boy who usually gives one-word answers.
