All the parents know that talking to their children about school is very important, but some parents don’t know what questions they should ask their children. They usually ask things like this, what did you do at school today, or How was school today?" Most of the time they may get one - word answers, such as "Nothing" or" Fine" because lots of things happened in the classroom. So it’s hard for the children to answer. Here are some things that might help parents.

     Don ’t ask so soon

   Your child has been in school for a long time before getting off the school bus. Let him relax for a short time before asking any questions.

     1                                                                                                                                                  For some reason, some children only like to talk about school at special times.

For example, some children like to talk about school when they are on the way home. Some like to talk about school when they are in bed at night. Don't ask about school fight away. You can talk with them about other things that they are interested in first. Then you can change the topic to school.

      2                  

    Try to ask your child about something that you’re pretty sure he did at school such as "Did the teacher read any new books today? Did you learn any new songs during music class? How did you do on your spelling test, u you ask more specific questions, you will get more specific answers.

     3                   

    Some children think that school is part of their own private world, and others shouldn’t ask about it. If your child is like that, don’t push. Let him know you’re interested in his school day, and let him talk to you if he has anything really important to share with you.

5. This is a passage for children about how to answer the questions that their parents ask.

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn't say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. "I can't tell anything," he finally said. "I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this and do that, because everything is different and I don't know what is going to come up. I can't help much with money either, but I think things will work out. "

     He gave me a new check-book (支票簿) . "If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell." In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers' kids filled in the financial gaps.

     "You know what you want to be, and they'll tell you what to take," my father went on. "When you get a job，be sure it’s honest(诚实的)，and work hard．”I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town．and l would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you．

    Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old，broken Bible that he had read so often．the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors．I knew he would miss it．I knew，though，that I must take it．

    He didn’t say read this every morning．He just said，“This can help you if you will let it．”

    Did it help? I got through college without being a burden(负担)on the family．I have been able to make money since．
