Psychologist has it that the average 4 year old ask over 400 Questions a day.
Now, that might amaze you, it might not, but weather it does or not, that’s quite a lot of question for one day, but why would a child so little ask so much question?
Children ask all these questions not because they playfully want to disturb you, but from a premature part of curiosity.
These questions are based on what they see day after day. They’re new to the world, they just arrived, and they see things they’ve never seen before. They want to know how and why, who and where.
They deserve to know quite a lot, but because of a parent’s busy schedule or day’s hassles one is so burnt up we spike at every question that seem nonchalant.
A child’s question really seem very Irrelevant, but trust me, these are things that give them some edge over their equals, it’s irrelevant, but they actually don’t know what’s going on.
As a parent, patience is what one should generally practice dealing with kids of such level.
There’s a lot of things school won’t teach the kids, the society won’t teach them, hence the reason you should answer almost all of their questions.
A kid whose mother attends to all her silly questions is no longer a novice, but the one whose mom is so busy to see to her/his silly questions remain silly and is quite reclusive.
As mild as this might be, it is essential. This makes your child smarter and confident in the midst of their friends or in school with other class mates or teachers.
The one whose parents are too busy result the other way round. Not answering their questions leave them dull and always don’t want to speak as there’s no confidence in the midst of others.
This can also lead to your kids try out things by themselves, instead of waiting to be told, they try it out, and unfortunately, there are quite some things they wouldn’t try out if you as a parent had attended to what they inquired.
Not answering kids, shouting at them never to say a word out loud because it’s quite not moral to be said is not enough, tell them why it is not good that they said a particular word or do a particular thing, this goes a long way in shaping this child in life.
