Asking Questions

My kids always seem annoyed when I ask them questions about something they did, it's like offensive to them that I want to know, for example, how my car has a new dent. So I came across this great video of new UVA President James Ryan talking about the 5 essential questions you should always ask, watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=148&v=bW0NguMGIbE

1.      Wait, what? A good way to ask for clarification, the "wait" tells you to slow down

2.      I wonder? I wonder why or I wonder if

3.      Couldn’t we at least?  Enables you to get unstuck

4.      How can I help? You are asking with humility for directions

5.      What truly matters?
