Curiosity Questions

 

This kind od questions help children to explore the consequences of their choices.

This way, they will create space to evaluate their goals, personal vlaues, and what they want in life.

Be curious: ask quesitons that invite understaning. Here are a few examples:

 

"What do you need to do in order to be ready and arrive at school on time?'

 

"Ops! What do you need to do when you spill milk on the table?"

 

"How are you and your brother going to solve this problem?"

 

"What do you need to take in your backpack so you will not be cold outside?"

 

"What is your plan for getting your homework done?"

 

"I am not sure if I understand whe you said. Can you tell me more about it?"

 

"What examples you can give me about it?

 

"When was the last time, what happened?"

 

"I know it seems hopeless when you can't find a solution. Do you want to keep trying or want to try later today?"

 

"How do you feel about your piano lessons?"

 

"How do you want to celebrate your efforts for getting this far?"

 

"What you need to do to get what you want?"

 

"What ideas do you have on how to solve this problem?" (If the answer is "I don't know", you can seuggest: "What would happen if...", then you offer your idea).

 

"How long you think it will last until you surpass this difficult phase? and "What can I do or say to demonstrate I am by your side?"

 

"How do you expect to get a good result/grade, if you don't dedicate time to practice now?"

 

"How can I support you?"

 

"I have information about it. Would you like to hear?" (especially effective with teens).

 

"If you were mom/dad/teacher, what would you do in this situation?"

 

"Would you like to brainstorm for possible solutions together?"

 

"Is there anything else?" (it really helps to ask this quesiton!)
