The how are you doing today question.

Hi everyone. I bring up a lot of questions and topics for discussion here because I learn so much from all of you.

My son gets asked 'how are you doing' every morning as he walks into school (kg). Many times, he says 'bad'. This has leas to us discussing why he feels bad. And he tells me that he doesn't know what to say but knows that he doesn't feel good. So then we think about why he feels bad. For a few days, he was saying that he is tired, so that would be his answer.

Now, he says 'I dont know how I am feeling so I don't know what to say'. Do your kids have similar thoughts. At first, I was frustrated and a little embarrassed when he would say he is bad to his KG teacher everyday. But I'm trying to teach myself to look at the picture as a whole...
