Has your child asked you another stupid or inappropriate question?

Don't get angry with your baby, don't scold him or her, and don't remain silent! Answer your child calmly!

And be glad that your child is a “why”!

The thing is that this quality makes the baby smarter.

Why You Should Answer Even Children's Stupid Questions

A child should not be criticized for being curious.

If mom and dad still make this mistake, they will disappoint the child and deprive him of the motivation to gain knowledge and explore the world.

It is enough to get angry at a boy or girl once for asking the “wrong” question or to ridicule him/her for it - and the child, most likely, will no longer want to expand his/her horizons.

To prevent this, answer all the “why” questions or at least tell him where he can find the necessary information (in an encyclopedia, textbook, popular science film, etc.)

If the child retains the desire to learn new things, then the baby will most likely study well. Most likely, your son or daughter will be able to find a calling in childhood. Do not deprive your child of this opportunity.
