R U OK?

Thursday, 11th September, was R U OK Day. This day raises awareness of the importance of conversation and noticing changes in the people around us. This year, we held a special Breakfast Club with hot toasties, chocolate and strawberry milk. We encouraged our students to think about the ways they can check in with their friends and ask “R U OK?”

For parents, it can be quite common to feel like our children don’t want to share much about their day. Does this sound familiar?

“How was your day?” “Fine.”

“What did you do today?” “Not much.”

Sometimes, the way we word our questions can help with creating a deeper conversation. Below are some ideas of different questions we can ask young people.
