Nine Questions to Ask Your Toddler

Asking your toddler open-ended questions is a great way to bond and encourage sharp and creative thinking. It also helps you understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Published on June 27, 2020, by Esther Muchene, this article highlights the importance of asking your toddler questions that encourage them to talk and share their thoughts and feelings.

Here are nine questions you can ask your toddler to get them to talk:

  • Who's your favorite teacher?
  • What don't you like about school?
  • What do you love about yourself?
  • Which day did you have the most fun?
  • Who do you like or not like in the family?
  • If you could invent something, what would it be?
  • What makes you angry?
  • What are your fears?

Asking your toddler these questions can help you understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It can also help you identify any potential issues or concerns and address them early on.

By asking your toddler open-ended questions, you can create a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings with you.
