Children begin life with profound questions. So much needs explanation. Much like a huge jigsaw puzzle with its pieces scattered across a living room carpet, the world is confusing and hard to put together.
Questions help make meaning out of what seems like nonsense.
Your daughter or son starts asking questions as soon as words begin . . . And then the questions become more complex as the toddler starts joining words together into phrases and sentences . . . One can never know all the right answers, especially in a world of rapidly changing information. However, with specific tools, one can usually fashion the right question to get some answers. Questions are tools of thinking that can be modified and molded to fit shifting situations.
