Use First Five Minutes Well: psychologists urge parents to connect; better questions can follow

After a long day at school, children often require some downtime. Parents can create a comforting environment by providing snacks and connection before diving into discussions about their day. Instead of general questions, specific ones about particular events yield better responses. Sharing one's own experiences can help children feel more at ease to express themselves. Fostering trust through quiet interactions gradually enhances communication over time.
