The Perfect Questions To Ask Your Daughter To Get To Know Her Heart

There are so many reasons why you should want to find questions to ask your kids. These questions are the perfect way to open up communication between you and your daughter.

You might want to ask your daughter these questions to get a glimpse inside her mind, to look at your child’s world through her eyes.

Maybe you want to make sure that you take time each day out of your busy schedule to give her some one-on-one attention.

Or maybe it’s because you fear the teenage years. A completely legitimate reason to want to bond with your daughter NOW.

For me, it’s all of these reasons. As much as I think I know my daughter, I am constantly surprised by her answers (and yes, we really do use this journal in my house. It’s one of our favorite parts of the day.)

Also, as much as making time for my kids is a priority for me, sometimes life gets busy. When we complete our question of the day, it forces me to slow down and forget about everything else for a couple minutes.

There are a lot of mother daughter activities that I do daily with my daughters, and this is one of our favorites.

You can also incorporate some of these quotes for your daughter into this daily routine to make her feel special and loved.

And I am deathly afraid of the teenage years. I need my daughter to learn NOW that she can talk to me. That I WANT to hear her thoughts and dreams, her worries and her problems.

Even though these questions can be completed quickly each day, many of them can provide a chance to talk about issues your child is facing, or a chance to start a conversation about the importance of being kind or confident.

I love these questions because there are fun, laugh inducing questions mixed in with serious, more thought provoking questions. This means that you will able to discuss topics that are important without your child realizing that you are talking about serious stuff.

Because oftentimes when we talk about things like believing in ourselves or being compassionate, we come off as if we are lecturing our kids.

Each week of questions revolves around a different theme.
