You know the answer before you ask the question:

How was school today?
Fine.
What did you do?
Nothing.

So what do you say to get the dialogue going and bring your child out of his shell? Is it a certain time of day that works for you -- in the car after soccer practice or around the dinner table? What questions or tips seem to work best for you?
