Why?
Mom, mommy, mom… why is the sky blue? Why, why, why?
On average, preschool children ask their parents 100 questions a day; according to my brother, who has two of his own, it can almost be madding, you sometimes almost wish it would end. And sadly, it does. By the time kids reach Junior High it’s pretty much over, the number of questions drop - and statistically, it’s this same time in a students life that engagement and motivation take a noise dive.
It turns out, us kids stopped asking questions not because we lost interest; that’s all backwards: We lost interest because we stopped asking questions.
Creativity is a network of random bits and bytes of information scraped together, the more data we gather the more connections we make and more problems we solve.
At work, at home, in relationships - never stop asking questions. The kids were right all along.
Why? What? Mom, mommy, mom…
