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.

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.

Even my four year old son found some scenes boring because I saw him restless in his seat during some parts of the movie. In fairness, the racing scenes were exciting. The CGI car stunts and maneuvers were the highlights of the movie.

I can’t believe the erratic weather changes today. When I woke up this morning, it was bright and sunny. The weather was promising but when afternoon came, the sky suddenly became gloomy and dark.
