There are children who love to tell how their day at school was, and without you asking them they will tell you everything that happened to them and their friends.
On the other hand, other children find it very difficult to talk about their day-to-day life, and when you want to inquire they will answer you with a monosyllable.
It is very important that you know how your child is doing at school, not only from an academic point of view, but also in his interpersonal relationships. If you don’t know how your child is doing at school, you won’t be able to give him the help he needs if he is being bullied.
The good news is that there are different ways to know how your child is doing in school without resorting to the classic question that they usually answer laconically.
