Mostly, when asked this, the response is "can't remember", "nothing" "boring" or another comment which gives you nowhere to go with the conversation.
Please offer some suggestions that you have found useful, as I really do want to know how school is going, but "how was school today" just doesn't do it - range of ages from 6 to 10 girls and boys (if that makes any difference).
Looking forward to your help.
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
