You want to know what’s going on with your kids—why they’re doing what they’re doing or what feelings are festering inside. But most parents go about trying to find out by asking questions. What’s wrong? Why are you so upset? How do you feel about that? Why can’t you understand that? They don’t know why or what’s happening in their emotional state—until they get to be emotionally literate. Most kids don’t have the maturity to #1 understand what they are feeling, and #2 put those feelings into words. And most kids, especially introverts, hate to be asked questions.
