“How was school?” “Good.” And that's the whole conversation.

One good question a day, and you both get a little closer.

Voidoy is a 30-day program that gives you tonight's question, so you never have to invent it after a long day. You sit down together for a few minutes, and your child puts words to how the day actually felt.

How it works

Three steps, every evening the same.

  1. 1

    Print it once at home, or read it from a screen and write in a notebook.

  2. 2

    Open tonight's page together. The question is already written for you.

  3. 3

    Five to ten minutes, then you're done. Thirty days later you have a record of the year in your child's own words.

For the grown-ups

You want them to talk. They don't always have the words yet.

  • How was school?

    Fine.

  • What's wrong?

    Nothing.

  • Did something happen today?

    I don't know.

Some evenings you can tell something is sitting with them. A quiet dinner, a slammed door, a shrug. You just don't know which question will help them open up.

None of that means you're doing it wrong. You already care, and you're already asking. The hard part is remembering what to ask at 8pm, on a school night, when everyone is tired.

So Voidoy brings the question with it. One page, one evening at a time, for thirty days.

Here is what one of those questions looks like

The 30-day arc

The order of the questions is the point.

The 30 days are deliberately ordered. The first week stays light and concrete, because that is what a child can answer on a school night. The questions get deeper as the habit settles in, so the harder ones arrive when your child is ready for them.

  1. Days 1–6

    Feeling Finder

    Naming what today felt like, in simple words.

  2. Days 7–12

    The Why Behind Feelings

    Looking at where a feeling came from.

  3. Days 13–18

    Taming Big Feelings

    Building a few things that help when a feeling gets loud.

  4. Days 19–24

    Understanding Others

    Wondering how someone else's day went.

  5. Days 25–30

    Confidence & Connection

    Noticing what they did well, and what they learned.

Empathy

Noticing and caring how other people feel

Empathy grows every time we wonder about someone else's day.

  • Day 19

    Someone else's weather

    Who had a different kind of day than you today? What do you think their feelings looked like?

  • Day 21

    The kindness detective

    Draw one small kind thing you noticed someone do, and one you did yourself.

  • Day 23

    Two sides of a story

    Tell about a moment that felt unfair. Now tell it the way the other person might tell it.

Take a peek inside

Here is what flipping through a real evening looks like.

Daily pages, drawing space, notes for the grown-up, chapter pages, and the certificate at the end. Click the edge of the page, swipe it sideways, or use your arrow keys.

Ten quiet minutes

This is what it looks like on a normal Tuesday night.

Print the pages, sit down together, read the question out loud. Your child colours, writes a little, and talks while their hands are busy. That is the whole thing.

PhotoSmall portrait of the person who made Voidoy

Who made this

I made Voidoy because I kept asking my own son how his day went and kept getting one word back. I did not need a parenting book. I needed a question I could read out loud at 8pm when I was too tired to think of one.

So I wrote thirty of them, in an order that starts easy and gets deeper, and tested them at our own kitchen table until they worked. That is the whole thing.
