Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

I’m sure many parents with young children are bombarded with dozens and perhaps hundreds of questions almost everyday. Topic can be be so diverse. A child can be curious about an insect and in a few minutes his attention will turn towards the sky. There are times that we become too preoccupied with adult activities and responsibilities that we tend to consider our child’s question as petty and unimportant. However, we should realize that to our child that question is important. Taking time to answer our child’s question will have great long term benefits. Some things may be too complicated for a child to grasp yet. Just remember to answer your child geared towards his age and understanding. A child will appreciate the time you give him.
