Reply To: My Child's Strange Question

I would never ignore a child’s question. If you don’t answer, they will think you don’t have an answer and will find their “information” or misinformation elsewhere. Just because they don’t bring it up again does not mean they have stopped thinking about it. If you want to be known by your children as the best source of information, you must answer all their questions (including the embarrassing ones or the ones you think are “obvious”) without making them feel bad (“WHERE did you hear THAT!?!) That is the best way to keep the lines of communication open – something VITAL nowadays!
