Do you ask too many questions?

So often, we adults think that we have to ask probing questions in order to get any information out of our kids. We pepper them with questions – with the best of intentions – hoping to get a crumb, a snippet, a clue into what they’re thinking and experiencing.


Turns out: the best way to do that is to talk LESS and to ask fewer, not more, questions.
