I believe the heart of our children is conquered by continual exploration of their thinking. For this reason, I think it’s crucial to ask them an eclectic set of questions. Here are five that I have used when I take my children out for a walk or ice cream:
a) What do you most enjoy about our family/church?
b) Is there something daddy/mommy can do to be a better parent to you (this is always very revealing and humbling)?
c) What things make you happy/sad?
d) What are you learning that makes you excited?
e) What kinds of things do you talk about with your friends?
