What was good about today?

It’s so easy to ask our children when we pick them up from school or when they get home, “How was your day?”.

A better way of asking is to say “What was good about today?”

It gets the conversation off on a positive footing, encouraging your child to reflect and focus on the positives from the day, rather than launching in with the negatives. This helps with their self-esteem and developing and building a stronger mental health.

The same approach works for adults too! Try using this approach with colleagues or your partner.
