“What did you do in school today?”
Ask your child this question, and he or she can probably reel off a list of activities, from leading a meeting to writing a story to setting up a store.
But if you’re wondering not just what happened in school, but why and how it happened that way—well, your child can answer that, too, though maybe not in the same way in which an adult would frame the answers.
What if you want to know more? You’ve come to the right place!
