The Art of Asking Questions
February 3, 2012
Our greatest glory consists, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
-Oliver Goldsmith
-Oliver Goldsmith
"In a powerful interaction, you pause to be present, then intentionally make a personal connection with the child, simultaneously moving the child's learning forward in a small, yet purposeful, way. Therefore, the questions you ask them make a difference in both the child's feelings towards you and the child's thinking and learning."
Here are some strategies suggested by the authors for asking good questions:
- Alternate between silence, commentary, and questions.
- Tailor the questions to the child.
- Offer a manageable challenge.

A true story to share with you:
While singing,' wheels on the bus go..' I posed for a while. and added a new line: The doggy on the bus go-' and then I asked,' can we take dog on the bus?.' To my surprise, each and every child in that 3 & 4 year old group had some something to say! And they all explained why and why not we can take dog on the bus..

My college professor taught me this long ago: Knight's Rule #1- Never make a statement without asking a question!

And most of all, be truly curious, interested and real.
