My husband is not one known to sit down and gab with me for a thirty minute session of intense questioning. I'm totally throwing this out there as a tactic that would work with my husband, but maybe one question at a time. So instead of a big moment, maybe sit them down with some snacks and just ask one of the questions. Wait a week or so and ask another question. Hopefully some other parents with older boys will chime in as well!Chellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264109854852787464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492627641698528246.post-66477204996356281082015-01-10T20:48:38.327-06:002015-01-10T20:48:38.327-06:00I have these with my boys but it's very diffic...I have these with my boys but it's very difficult. Boys don't talk! Any suggestions on getting boys to open up? The first time is was a disaster (they wouldn't talk to me at all about school). The second time they did open up a little but it was really hard getting through to them that they can't list "break time" as their favorite thing in school, what they wanted to do more of, and that was their favorite book. ; ) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215156031742880552noreply@blogger.com
