Why do children always like to ask "why"?

Families with children should have had this experience. The child is about six to seven years old. They have just entered primary school from kindergarten, and they feel very fresh about the new campus and environment, and they are curious about everything around them. Children "transform" into "curious babies" and keep asking parents some questions that sound childish.

In the morning of the first grade, I pestered my father to ask all kinds of questions every day when I came home from school: Why is it raining? Why do people eat? Why can't the puppy talk? Waiting ... even at the dinner table.

Chen Chen's father is a little tired after a day's work. He was dismissed in a few words at the beginning, but he was not satisfied with the answer and continued to ask questions. Dad was a little impatient and said, "I don't know." Chen Chen asked, "Dad, why don't you know?" Dad was filled with anger when he heard this sentence. At that time, he was angry: "So many reasons, don't bother me and play." Hearing this, Chen Chen turned pale and disgruntled.

Parents keep asking their children questions. If they don't control their emotions like Chen Chen's father, it will leave a bad impression on their children, although it is only a temporary angry remark. The child becomes afraid to ask questions, his enthusiasm is hit, and his thirst for knowledge will be reduced. Over time, they will stop asking questions. Finally, they will be careless in front of their studies.

So how do parents face the problem of "curious baby"?

1, create an atmosphere that encourages children to ask questions.

Parents should first have a correct attitude. They should not condescend to their children, but should talk as equals. When a child asks you a question, even a naive question, it proves that the child is actively thinking about the problem. Parents should feel happy, encourage more and give him full affirmation and praise.

2. Answer your child's questions in plain language.

Sometimes in the face of questions raised by children over his age, parents feel that they can't say clearly in a few words, or that he is too young to tell him too much, even if he doesn't understand, he just blinks a few words. When encountering such problems, parents should answer them in plain language according to their children's current acceptance level. Don't distort the facts, and don't be so abstruse and concise.

3. Make progress with your children.

Children are like a white test paper, and children's questions are like questions on the test paper. Every parent is a candidate to answer questions. The answers written above will affect children's understanding and cognition of things, so parents should not be careless when answering their children's questions, they must think carefully by themselves, and even go to the library or look up information on the Internet with their children to get the correct answer. As long as you do it yourself, the children will follow your example.

4. Let children be good at asking questions

Guide children to ask questions according to their own learning knowledge. There is a saying: you get to the point when you ask. This kind of problem is horizontal. To know a child who loves to ask questions, prove that he is curious, studious and exploratory.

Tell children that scientists are good at asking questions before they make a series of discoveries in the history of science: Newton was hit by an apple and asked the apple tree: Why did the apple fall to the ground instead of the sky? Finally discovered "gravity"; The Wright brothers asked the birds in the sky: How can people fly like birds? Finally invented the plane.

The deeds of these scientists will enter the hearts of children bit by bit. When children feel the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in solving problems, they will become small experts in solving problems.
