The Importance of Asking Our Kids Questions

Asking questions is such an important part of parenting, especially with young kids. Not only does it help us better understand what’s going on in their little minds, but it also shows them that we care about their thoughts and feelings. 

Plus, let’s be real, kids say the darnedest things, so you never know what kind of hilarious responses you’ll get! Whether we’re asking about their favorite toy or what they want to be when they grow up, it’s all about fostering that sense of curiosity and wonder in our children. 

Bonding Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

I think sometimes we make quality time and bonding so much harder than it has to be. What do our kids really want? Our attention. They want to know that we care about what they say and think. It’s truly that simple. 

Will they remember every question you’ve ever asked them when they’re grown? Nope. But they will remember that you cared. That’s what matters, mama.

The Power of Open-Ended Questions

Mama, have you ever noticed how powerful open-ended questions can be? They’re the ones that can’t be answered with a simple yes or no, and they really get our kids thinking!

Think about it this way: When your spouse asks you questions, which ones feel more personal? It’s the questions that require a longer answer! Why is this?

To get straight to it, we all want to feel like someone cares about us. Open-ended questionsallow our kids to express themselves fully and feel like we care about what they have to say.

I love asking little ones questions that allow them to express themselves and share their unique perspectives. Not only does it show them that I’m interested in what they have to say, but it also helps them build their confidence and creativity.

Final Thoughts

Again, spending quality time with our babies doesn’t have to be hard. The next time you’re  in the car, on the couch, sitting at the table, etc. I challenge you to turn of the screens and talk to your kids. 

They’re only little for so long, you know? And who knows, you may learn a thing or two about your babies that you didn’t already know.
