It’s a simple question.

“What was the best part of your day?”

I don’t think that enough parents ask it.. we’re in the second week of kindergarten and I watch parents in the pick up line, on their phones (not anymore THANK YOU Texas for passing no cell phones in school zones!), or exasparated and rushing, not paying attention to the glow on their child’s face.  Too busy with their business, their life, their importance… too busy to remember that their child is more than an entry in their daily schedule.

You asking your child, in the car, at the dinner table, at bedtime.. whenever you can…

“What was the best part of your day today”

It will mean the world to your child.  Trust me, it shows in the sparkle in their eyes, the flush in their cheeks and the slight increase and hitch in their breathing as the excitement overtakes them.

But, here’s the thing…

Asking your child:

“What was the best part of your day?”

Will  become,  The best and most treasured part of yours.
