- What three words best describe how you’re feeling right now?
- On a scale of 1 to 10, going from negative to positive, what number best describes your state of mind?
- Fill in the blank: Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is…..
- If your feelings were weather, what kind of day would it be outside?
- If your life was a movie, what songs would be on the soundtrack right now?
- What would you like to have less of in your life right now?
- What would you like to have more of in your life right now?
- Tell me about the best thing and the worst thing that happened to you this week
- What’s the hardest part about being you right now?
- How can I support you better?
Depending on your teen’s personality and communication style, some of these emotional check-in questions might be more effective than others in eliciting answers.
