As soon as children start speaking, they have lots of questions to ask. They ask many questions that we feel difficult to answer. But answering to their questions is very important. Children will learn from our answers. Children questions reveal a great deal about their power of understanding things.
Even when children do not know how to speak, there are many core questions that they ask many times each day. They have many questions in their mind, which are unknown to us due to absence of language.
If you do not know the answers to their questions simply say that you do not know. If you are embarrassed or uncomfortable to answer any of your child’s questions, do not give wrong answer. Children learn that answer from you. Giving wrong information will only create confusion to them when they grow up. Do not avoid to answering their questions. If you can’t answer immediately in case if it is not the appropriate place to talk about, tell them that this is not the proper place to talk. It is a surprising fact that how many questions can be answered in a day, and how much information a little brain can acquire.
