What does Sinterklaas ask my child during the call?
Simple, warm questions: what do you love doing, what makes you laugh, have you put out your shoe yet, what is on your wish list, what song will you sing for the Sint.
The details
Every call follows one of the twelve moments, such as the wish list or Sinterklaas needs help. The questions come from that moment.
Sinterklaas asks one question at a time and reacts to the answer before the next. He uses your child's name and the note you wrote.
He never asks where you live, which school, or a phone number. He never promises a specific present. He never threatens with the roe or the sack.
If your child goes quiet, Sinterklaas asks something smaller. If your child talks about something sad, Sinterklaas listens kindly and gently returns to the story.
You can whisper to Sinterklaas during the call, for example 'ask about the drawing'. Your child does not hear your whisper.
