Those strange questions that children love to ask.

Strange questions that children love to ask. When children reach a certain age, they begin to be interested in many things after they start talking, and children begin to have endless questions. How should parents answer? Look at the strange questions that children like to ask.

The strange question that children love to ask 1 1, why is the giraffe's neck so long?

Because giraffes like to eat fresh leaves that grow on the top of big trees. But these trees are very tall. In order to eat these leaves, giraffes must have a long neck. Some giraffes have necks more than 2 meters long! Giraffe's neck is very long, but there are as many bones on it as we humans, but each bone is very long.

2. Why do we live in the house?

Only by living in a house can we resist the bad weather, the scorching sun in summer and the cold north wind in winter. There are all kinds of strange houses all over the world, which mainly depends on the climate in which people live. For example, people who live by the river often use bamboo or wood to support their houses in mid-air to resist floods.

3. Why do ants get up from the ground after it rains?

Because ants live in its underground palace. Although scientists are not sure, they still believe that there will be a lot of water in the underground palace of ants when it rains heavily, and ants will climb to the ground because they are afraid of drowning.

Several common characteristics of strange problems

1, starting with "I"

For children, the question of "why" is always self-centered. For example, a child asked, "Why is that machine so loud?" Can you promise that it won't hurt me?

2, want to get some kind of commitment

Sometimes, children ask "why" in order to get adults to give him a promise. For example, he asked, "Why should I take pictures?" I just want you to tell him, "Because the photos can be kept as souvenirs, the baby can see what he looked like when he was a child when he grew up."

Step 3 show surprise

Many times, children ask you questions to express their surprise. For example, a child asked, "Why is it raining so hard?" More is how he feels after watching the pouring rain outside.

To parents: how to respond to children's questions

Asking questions is an important way for children to learn. So no matter how strange your child's problem is, please take it seriously.

4. Know what children want to know.

Children often can't ask a complete and exact question to get the information they want to know, so sometimes your answer can't satisfy their children. In order to avoid this situation, before answering, you can ask your child a question: "Baby, what do you think?" If you still don't know what the child wants to ask, you can ask a question that points to that answer, such as: "The squirrel is sleeping in its nest. Do you want to know this? "

5. Answer in words that children can understand.

Preschoolers don't need to know everything. You just need to answer him with words suitable for his age. For example, a 3-year-old child asked, "Why did things fall?" A good answer is: "The earth is pulling them. You can't see the earth doing this. There is also a special saying for this phenomenon: gravity. "

The right thing to do at this time is to push the question back as far as possible. You can say to your child, "Mom is doing housework. You can ask later, ok? " Or try to change the topic and distract the child. For example, you can ask him, "Shall we play house together?" ?

Strange questions that children love to ask 2 1, "say" them as soon as possible.

Don't wait for the baby to talk to him. You can "talk" to your baby as soon as possible, even from birth. Of course, this kind of dialogue is more nonverbal, such as carefully recording and distinguishing the types of baby crying (hungry, sleepy, tired, afraid, etc.). ) and respond and satisfy them accordingly. Of course, this needs to be explored slowly. You don't have to expect yourself to become a worm in your stomach at once. If your baby ignores your reaction for a while, you can wait patiently for a while, or let your baby react through eye contact and physical contact. In addition, with the baby's growth, the baby's expression is getting richer and richer, and it begins to make all kinds of babbling sounds. It must be very happy to imitate the baby at this time.

Step 2 Use "mother tongue"

In life, for babies who are learning English, mothers (or other family members) often unconsciously slow down, improve their tone, and say or repeat some short words or sentences with exaggerated tone when talking to their babies. This is the so-called "mother tongue". The baby likes this set very much, because the slow speech speed, exaggerated tone, high-pitched tone and repetitive way are the easiest for the baby to understand and can make him feel and learn the language better. It's not hard to understand. Imagine communicating with foreigners for the first time, and we will know our feelings and needs.

3. Be a baby's "tour guide"

Babies are "new guests" in this world. Even the most basic thing, taking a bath and eating, is puzzling for the baby. At this time, we need to be the baby's "guide", such as telling the baby what he is facing with a kind voice and a changing tone. For example, tell him "the baby is ringing the doorbell" and "mom is changing your diaper" When the baby starts to leave his mother or what he is doing to see others and other things, we should not rigidly tell the child what we want to say (as we are doing), but follow the child's attention, such as "What you see is uncle" and "That is a big tree". Such a natural and friendly language "guide" is very effective in improving children's language ability and is also conducive to children's social development.

Children's education should start with dolls. While teaching children to speak, it not only cultivates children's language ability and healthy development, but also promotes the communication between children and parents before, thus increasing parent-child feelings. I hope these tips for teaching children to talk can be used by parents whose children are still babbling but are at a loss.
