❓💛 THE WHY… Why do we ask open-ended questions? Because questions without one “right” answer make children THINK. Instead of only asking, “What color is this?” we can ask, “What do you notice?” “What do you think will happen?” “Why do you think that?” or “What could we try next?” These questions encourage children to explain, wonder, problem-solve, and use more language. That’s the WHY behind the questions you hear us asking at DCDC.
