For many that is checking that they read it right, or helping them think about what they saw using a couple questions, but for some I think telling maybe required. | |

I talk to my kids about things all day, every day. I tend to focus on what I ask as much, if not more, than what I tell. I find it is more useful in gauging where they are developmentally & understanding how they view the world at this point in time/development, etc. | |
