Hi kids!
The six-year-old was full of questions; in fact, she always is. Whatever she sees she has to ask a few questions about it – mostly the usual how, where, why and when. Even while watching a cartoon she would not be silent for a moment but keep on asking whatever she doesn’t understand. Sometimes she asks questions that are difficult to answer. Like the time when she saw the beggar child for the first time and came up with ‘why is he begging, where’s his home, parents, school’ and a lot more. It was difficult to satisfy her as her curiosity knows no bounds.
She is not alone. Most children are like that. Most people think that children do not think. But that’s not true. They have got over-active, curious minds that observe and think a lot. It is up to grown-ups to satisfy their curiosity. Unless one asks about what is not clear one is never going to learn.
If you are not clear about something or do not understand something don’t hesitate to seek answers from your elders. It may be that your mother or father is busy at that time and is not able to explain things to you. Don’t get discouraged. Either wait till they are free or consult a book or check out on the net. You have so many options.
If you have younger siblings who keep coming to you for help don’t get irritated but explain things to them as well as you can or politely tell them to ask someone else. Always remember that as young children you were also always asking questions; now when you have grown a bit older (though you also need to satisfy your curiosity) you are capable of helping others. Do your bit for these little curious minds.
Have a nice weekend!
Bye!
Ed
