100 Questions To Ask Your Son Or Daughter

Using 100 questions to ask a teenager about life will really give you great insight into what your child truly thinks about the world around them.

We all have teens that have a hard time communicating. My two teens come home and no matter what question I ask, their answer is always, “good.” The answer doesn’t even have to FIT and they will still only answer that word.

Did you have a test today? Good.

100 Questions To Ask Your Son Or Daughter – Teenage Questionnaire

I can’t stand it. But parents have to realize that during this time in their lives, our kids might not be able to verbally communicate as freely as we’d like them to. As adults, most can communicate effectively on instinct, naturally. But with children, it is still a learned behavior for most.

If your child is having a hard time expressing him or herself verbally, there are ways to get around this. Consider using questions to help prompt responses from them and to encourage further discussion that will then come naturally. Use this teenage questionnaire freely or formally – it’s up to you.
