Children's Questions by larry r linville Saturday, September 18, 2010 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I watched a young boy ask his father a lot of questions beginning with the Word "what" and I reflected on what the two had ahead of them.
A young child asks, “What is that”? over and over again. The parent keeps giving answers while trying to show a warm grin. Soon the “What” takes a new turn and become a constant “Why?” so the parent has to patiently make a clever reply. As time passes they stretch the “why” to a demanding “Why can’t I?” and the old “because I said so” seems to no longer fly. Sometimes the “Why can’t I” brings with it much family strife. But that’s what it takes to prepare the young person for life.

Sometimes the �Why can�t I� brings with it much family strife. But that�s what it takes to prepare the young person for life. I agree, Larry. Parents must set reasonable limits and make sure that the child knows why. Even if at the time this seems unfair to the child, s/he will figure it out later for the good. Love and peace, Regis
