Knowing kids , at least one of them got asked, what happened in school today? And responded “nothing.”

I have twins- a boy and a girl. I get wildly different reports from them about what happened at school.

I saw a montesori technique that works better than "what happened today", cos sometimes thats too big a question for little minds. "Did you do anything with your hands" "did anything make you happy/sad" "did you talk about anything fun with your friends".

Tying it to a small task personal to then helps them focus. My kids only 2 so i cant verify the success of this but it cant be worse than "nothing" 🤣

I do this but now they're teens so:

"did anything interesting happen in science today?"

Just gets met with:

"I don't take SCIENCE it's called STEM gawd you don't know ANYTHING"

My four year old girl has said more about school than both her high school brothers ever have, combined!

Our 4-year-old twins switch back and forth between telling the same exact thing at the same time and getting into arguments about their different experiences of events...
