But despite the benefits of question-asking for
kids, researchers point out that when kids start
school, their question-asking decreases.
Continuing to ask questions, is an important
life skill that will serve them well one day in the
classroom, workplace, and in their family life.
So how can you encourage question-asking in
your grandchildren?
Well, first make it fun to answer and ask questions.
I call this " gamifying conversation " . Openended
questions are great but asking True/False
questions or multiple-choice questions works
really well on video chats when it's tough to
get undivided attention. Check out this article
for ideas about how to gamify your conversation
with your grandchildren. How to make
conversations with your grandchildren more
fun from a distance. Second, interview one
another.
You can make a project out of this by declaring
you would like to lead a family interview
project. This can be done in person or virtually.
Put names in a hat and the name you draw is
the person you interview. Kind of like a Secret
Santa approach for family interview sessions. Be
sure to generate a list of questions for younger
children to choose from but also encourage
them to come up with their own questions.
Third, buy them books that encourage question-asking.
I found a wonderful list of books
curated by a librarian with options for picture

books all the way to middle school. It's called
A Children's Library of Question Books.
For your older grandchildren, cut out or print
out a news article about something they are
interested in and write a few questions you'd
like their perspective on in the margins.
Being a " Grand Questionologist " can take
many forms but one of the best ways is to lead
by example. Try Googling good questions to ask
a 10-year-old and you will be inundated with
options.
The beauty of question-asking
is that it can be done
in person or virtually.
I guess one last thing to consider is, don't
force it. Sometimes kids just aren't in the mood
to answer or ask questions. If the conversation
has stalled, I like this suggestion: Just say 'I like
listening to you. Can we talk more another time?'
Happy Connecting (and questioning!)
