This section is about communicating with children so asking questions, clarifying and confirming points is what you do as part of active listening and communicating with a child/group of children.
You ask them questions about what they are saying to show that you are interested in them - this helps to build a postive relationship between you, helps the child to trust you, helps them with their communication skills and boosts their self esteem because you have shown they are important to you.
Clarifying and confirming points is also a part of this communication process because you are checking that you have understood what the child is saying, thus ensuring that there are no misunderstanding between you. Again this is a confidence boost to the child because it confirms that you are actually listening to them and are showing an interest in what they are saying.
In other circumstances you might ask questions about a story or a structured session to guage their level of understanding eg "What did you think of the Big Bad Wolf?" or "how many Little Pigs were there?" You might also clarify and confirm points about the story or structured session to re-enforce their understanding eg "The Big Bad Wolf wasn't very nice" "There were 3 Little Pigs in the story".
