Many children at a certain age (usually 3-5 years old) become “why- ...

They constantly ask their mom or dad questions related to various areas of life.

And there is nothing wrong with that. Quite the opposite: we should be happy that the baby is trying to learn about the world around him and gain new knowledge.

But sometimes parents get tired of their children's numerous questions.

At such moments, the child wants to say: “Maybe that’s enough?”

But you shouldn't take such a step. Moreover, there is one interesting psychological trick that will help mom and dad to relax, and the baby to understand the issue that interests him.

What to say to a "why" child

Has your child approached you with a question once again?

Never ask your child to leave you alone! But don't rush to answer if you're tired.

It would be better to ask a counter question: “What do you think?”

In the vast majority of cases, children begin to reason independently. And then parents can only agree or disagree with certain theses.

And often children don’t even have to be corrected: their reasoning is often quite correct.
