My four year old asked me a question

Yes - all the time! The questions about "you know what" are the worst! One time my four year old was asking me about private parts while we were in a public bathroom - it was sooo embarassing! A lady came out of the stall and said, "Wow, mom you are fielding those questions like a pro!"

er - thanks for the BR. And again, thanks to my other GD! Just another reason why I love them so much!

i do not have kids but i have by 3.5 yr olod niece. i like to spend time with kids. everytime i see their questions are one after another. it also makes us scratch the head. she actually asks so many questions on back of others.

I think that's a cute stage. Some people get annoyed. I saw a commercial recently about at Dad using the internet to look up all the answers to his daughter's questions. It was funny.

i have two vey naughty teenagers who ask questions to bits,in fact their class teachers are always telling that they have very inquisitive minds,they ask you questions that require long explanations i wonder where these kids get such intelligence from,i feel good about it but sometimes they wear me out

nice to view your question and discussions. as this may give me some tips when i teach my children in the future.yeah child are very naive and lovely, they just ask for all the things they don't know. i guess i will answer them in a better why that may lead to best result.

I would say yes more than likely and always giggling. lol I tried to stay away from the things that would get me to go into too many details. lol

I am a new mom (well, sort of... My daughter is only 8 months old). But I have an 8 year old cousin who lives across our house and grew almost right under our noses. There were times when he asked sooooo maaaannnnyyyyy questions... honest! One question would lead to another and another because he keeps on asking, why? why? why? You just have to be very very patient in answering these kids. They're just very very smart these days!

Yes, more than a dozen of times that I get questions like that. A simple question that turns out to be complicated in the long run. Children are so inquisitive. No matter how we try to explain to them the whys of this world, more often than not, they don't get satisfied. Hence, the string of whys and hows follows automatically, leaving us more confused than they are. It's really amazing!

Children as wonderful questions, but usually they don't want or need literal answers, in my opinions. They are mastering the art of communication in one sense, but also learning dominant behavior. That is good, but it is also good for parents not to get the short end of the stick when conversing with little ones. I've seen moms get unbelievably frustrated by the question game without ever realizing that they have the right to question back! Kid: Mommy what is acne? Mom: That is an astute question! Why do you ask? Kid: I want to know! Mom: What do you want to know? Kid: I forgot! I'll bet you can hardly wait until your 4 year old is big enough to go look the words up in the dictionary! :-)

She probably just heard in on a commercial during a cartoon! I don't watch them unless my GD's are here but sometimes, the commericals on kids shows are all about women's health - I assume they are targeting the mother that is hopefully supervising the child that is watching, but just cause the child doesn't appear to be listening, they are! Ergo questions like this! I just "introduced my 2 year old GD to her "shadow". She is still "comtemlating" the idea, but yesterday we were walking and I was talling her "here comes shadow" and "wave to shadow, and she'll wave back" and things like that. So she says she wants to give shadow a kiss and hug, and lays down on the sidewalk and "wraps" her arms around "shadow" and kisses the cement!!! I don't want to laugh to hard, or it'll confuse her, but inside, laughing up a storm! Showed the pictures of htis to her daddy and he just laughed and laughed. Those little ones come up with just the best heartfelt wonders ever to imagened!

Yeah it will irritate you if more questions come after another... But then we have to made our patience long enough to understand them... This is how it goes.. This are their learning stages and they curious about everything they see... You will noticed that they almost want to know everything even they are not suite for that... But ofcourse you are her mother and as you understand them, it will not irritate you...
