Many parent get annoyed when their children ask too many questions. They do not realize that by not responding to the questions and curiosity of these ones, it might take away their chance to learn new things. Leaning is every individual’s right, and no one can take away one’s eagerness to explore, discover, and learn new things.

The former president of the United States, Roosevelt, once said, “I think, at a child’s birth if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to give it the most useful gift that gift would be curiosity.” If a child asks too many questions out of curiosity, parents must answer the questions with patience. The way they respond will determine whether a child grows up to be a smart learner and an explorer or not.

While some parents take these matter slightly, there are some who attend to the needs of their young ones’ hunger to learn smartly. Regina, a life coach and public speaker, instead of losing her calm on her daughter’s nature to frequently question everything, she tried to respond to her daughter with love and affection. Not only did she answer all her daughter’s questions, but she started thinking of other curious kids out there who were eager to discover the hidden secrets of this world.
