Fun Questions to Ask Your Kids.

I saw these sorts of quizzes doing the rounds around Mother’s Day. You ask your kids a bunch of fun questions about yourself and keep a record. I thought this idea was so sweet. However, I didn’t just want to ask my 5-year-old, Aurelia questions about what she thought of me. I wanted to find out more about her as a person. How she feels about herself, the world around her and also us as parents.

I put together a list of fun questions to ask your kids. I then asked Aurelia these questions and recorded the answers, no editing, just typing them up as she answered them. Here are our results!

We had so much fun compiling this list of fun questions to ask your kids. We have even more asking Aurelia the questions! More than that, I learnt a great deal about my child and what she thinks of us as parents. We also got to learn a little more about her fears without the distress of discussing them!

I had an idea – I’ll repeat this process in a year’s time and see how different the results are!
