Plenty of toddlers and young children love to talk about everything they\u2019ve done since they saw their parents last, but many others can be a little more unwilling to share.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The importance of talking about the day<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one thing, parents &#8211; parents who are starting their toddlers in daycare or preschool for the first time, and parents whose little ones are only just starting to be verbal enough to really share what they do when they\u2019re away from home, even if they\u2019ve been spending time in daycare for most of their lives &#8211; are <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">curious<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For so much of <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s life, you\u2019ve got a starring role, but for the parts when you\u2019re away from <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>, you don\u2019t even get to watch the reruns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than that, though, talking about your day with <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is a great habit to get into now, so that you\u2019ll already have it as a part of your family\u2019s routine as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they gets<\/span> older, and starts to spend more and more time away from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tips for getting started<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> doesn\u2019t launch into a detailed description of everything <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> done since <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they<\/span> saw you last the second you ask <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>, there are a few different possible reasons, starting with the fact that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they may<\/span> not have mastered organizing the memory of the day in a way that\u2019s easy for <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to tell you about, and ending with the fact that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they may<\/span> be all out of social energy at the end of a long day.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Start with a bang:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re picking <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> up, start with an enthusiastic greeting, not a question. Saying hello, and letting <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> know you missed <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> can set the tone, and can keep the question you do end up asking from sounding prying, or from putting <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> on the spot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lead by example: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talking to <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> about your own day can be a more effective way of getting <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to talk about <span class=\"pronoun-theirs\" data-pronoun=\"theirs\">theirs<\/span> than just straight-out asking. Not only does it show <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> that sharing goes both ways, and that you trust <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> the way you\u2019re asking <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to trust you, but it also gives <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> a model for talking about the day, and the way this kind of storytelling should sound.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Do your homework:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Knowing the schedule at <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s school or daycare can give you an idea of what to ask <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> about &#8211; specific questions can jog <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> memory, and may prompt <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to give you more specific answers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Follow the leader: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> lead the conversation once it gets started, rather than keeping on directing it with more questions. <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> may not be interested in the same parts of the day as the ones you want to hear about, but hearing which parts stuck in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> mind can tell you even more about what <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> thinking and feeling than any specific question you could ask.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Freeze!: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> a little space when <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they first gets<\/span> back from daycare, preschool, a playdate, or even grandma\u2019s house, especially if <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> quiet, or hasn\u2019t jumped into telling you about <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> day when you\u2019ve asked <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> about <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> day in the past. Socializing can be stressful for toddlers, and can take a lot of energy, even when they have a great time. Your little one may need a little time to regroup, wind down, or just be quiet, before <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> ready to talk to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Question your questions:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Depending on how asking <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> about <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> day has gone in the past, it may be time to rethink your questioning style. Open-ended questions are more likely to get a longer, or more interesting, answer than yes or no questions. Very specific questions (as opposed to the more general, \u201chow was your day?\u201d) can help young children organize the way they think about their day. On the other hand, some children can take very specific questions as nosiness or prying, especially as they get older. In the end, the best way to approach asking questions is to take your cues from your little one. If one way of asking about <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> day doesn\u2019t work, try something else until you find something that sticks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Make the time:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make specific space in your day to talk and connect, whether it\u2019s over dinner, a snack, in the car on the way home, or snuggled up and chatting as part of winding down before bed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Use props: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking questions about any art, worksheets, or other things your toddler may have brought home is a great way to get the conversation going. Asking about objects is a good way to spark a young child\u2019s memory, and it often means bringing up something <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> interested in talking about, which <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they might<\/span> have already opened the conversation about by showing it to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wait before jumping to the rescue: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> tells you about something hard, or something that made <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> sad, it may make you even more upset than <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span>, and may make you want to fix the problem right away. Of course, if something seems especially serious, or happens often, you may need to step in, but in general, for small issues, over-reacting may make your child less willing to share, if <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they sees<\/span> you getting upset about it, and trying to solve a problem for <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> may make <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> less likely to problem-solve on <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> own. Instead, it may be more helpful to talk to <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> about how <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they feels<\/span>, how <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they thinks<\/span> anyone else who\u2019s involved might feel, and about some of the things <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they might<\/span> have thought about doing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing what you\u2019ve been thinking and feeling can be tricky even when you\u2019re <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a toddler anymore, so don\u2019t be surprised if it takes <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> a little while to get the hang of this kind of conversation. Once <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they does<\/span>, though, it can be a great part of your family\u2019s routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sources<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sara Ackerman. \u201cWant your kids to tell you about their day?
