That Annoying Curiosity
You can’t indulge your children’s outrageous curiosity every day, but you can stay alert to those moments when it would change the entire dynamic of your homeschool.
Sometimes the tedium of a routine deserves to be disrupted by a child’s wild imagination and your participation in it!
“Pay attention to when a child’s ideas irritate you. Could it be that your child is exercising an outrageous imagination? Is the idea too complicated messy or expensive? Are the questions bigger than what you can easily explain?” (The Brave Learner)
I remember one of mine wanting to know the word origins for cuss words—like how did we get them? Why were they bad? Yeah: annoying! But he went on to major in linguistics!
So be on the lookout for your kids’ annoying curiosity, and be open to exploring it with them.
