Questions To Ask Your Kids
When is the last time you asked your kids a question they were not expecting?!
As a busy parent it is easy to get into the habit of just asking “how was school today?” or having other types of routine conversations. I know I used to with my kids!
In this podcast I’ll inspire you to ask quick, fun and quirky questions that your kids will love to talk and think about. It will help you mix up your conversations at home AND build your child’s 21st century skills e.g. creativity, critical thinking, communication etc.
Each episode is a short 15 – 20 minutes long featuring a different 6 -12 year old child that I have a quick chat with. Listen in to hear conversations around “What are 10 things to do with a cup?” (Creativity) or “How would you cross a river if you had to?” (Critical Thinking) or "How could you describe a car to an alien?” (Communication) etc.
You could also listen with your child and pause now and again asking what they would say in the same situation!
Each of the questions and prompts I use comes from an app I’ve built for parents. It’s called KidCoachApp and, if you like what you hear, I invite you to download also and get started for free: www.kidcoach.app.
Let's get your kids talking and thinking!

Questions To Ask Your Kids
Is it ever OK to hit someone?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week we spoke with Andrea (age 13) about if it is ever OK to hit someone. We think back to the incident - about a year ago - from the 2022 Oscars when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. We reflect ethically and morally whether hitting someone can ever be right even under extreme circumstances.
If you want to have more conversations like this with your own kids, then the KidCoachApp can help. I've written 1,000+ great questions and prompts in there for parents like you and update it regularly with world events and new questions too.
