Like anything, when it comes to asking questions, there’s the good, bad, and everything in between. One specific thing you can steal from me today is a simple observation:
The quality of the answer you get is directly correlated to the quality of the question you ask.
In most cases, the quality (or lack thereof) in question comes down to specificity. Asking vague questions gets you vague answers and we rarely want vague answers. While I’m not a parent and am confident this is easier said than done, the point remains. What exactly is one expecting from the archetypical question to the child driving home from school, “So, how was school?”
“Fine.”
That’s what I’d say, too. But, you might get a different, more specific, more interesting answer if you asked questions like, “what was the funniest thing that happened today?” or “who had the best outfit on in class?”. Furthermore, once a conversation is started, you might actually learn “how school was today”.
Try to be 30% more specific in your language and see what comes of it!
