Ask specific questions about school
Talking about school is an important way to show your child that education matters. But if your child's usual answer to "How was school today?" is "Fine" or a grunt, get more specific. Ask your elementary schooler to tell you about something good that happened. Ask about how your child handled a challenge. Find out what your student is reading in class. Ask about classmates. Share something about your own day, too.
