This research study explores how children respond to solicitations for updates about their (recent) experiences. Instances of parents soliciting updates from their children were collected from over 30 hours of video-recorded co-present family interactions from 20 different American and Canadian families with at least one child between the ages of 3 and 6. Previous research has documented that caregivers of very young children treat them as being able to disclose about events they have experienced (Kidwell, 2011). In building upon the literature on family communication and parent-child interactions as well as the literature on epistemics, this paper explores the concept of “talking about your day” in everyday co-present family interactions, showing three ways in which parents solicit updates from their children: through report solicitations, tracking inquiries, and asking the child to update someone else. Data are in American and Canadian English.

这项研究探索了儿童如何响应邀请（关于最近的经历）的更新。从20个美国和加拿大家庭的至少30个年龄在3到6岁之间的孩子的30多个视频共同存在的家庭互动的视频记录中收集了父母征求其孩子更新的实例。以前的研究表明，年幼的孩子将他们视为能够披露自己经历过的事件（Kidwell，2011年）。在建立关于家庭交流和亲子互动的文献以及关于认识论的文献的基础上，本文探讨了在日常共同演示的家庭互动中“谈论你的一天”的概念，展示了父母从中寻求更新的三种方式他们的孩子：通过举报邀请，跟踪查询，并要求孩子更新其他人。数据使用美国和加拿大英语。
