He always have to ask what if when it comes to doing something with friends. or going somplace even handing out party invitaions and directions. It can be frustruating, Should I try to break him out of doing that. He seem to worry about every What he can think of and he won't stop asking until he gets an answer that satisfies him

You don't say how old the child is. My 4-year old asks, "why, what, how" to everything asked, until she gets an answer that "satisfies" her. I've found that if I give her honest answers, even if they seem far too advanced for her, she is satisfied with the answer and stops asking. If your child is young, encourage his curiosity and reward him with complete and honest answers. I've actually literally explained why the sky is blue by talking about the atmosphere. Did she understand it? Probably not, but I planted the seed in there that there's a lot more to learn.
But if he's 12 and doing it, I'd say it needs to stop!

My kids could ask why at every answer for what seemed to be eons when they were too young to understand the answers. Communicate, communicate, communicate. And then do some more. I suspect it's a way for them to get the attention they crave and need. Part of the joy/pain of parenting.

I haven't met a kid yet that didn't go through this stage and also the "why?" stage. Just calm down. It'll pass. They're kids. Their little minds are trying to soak up everything they can. Asking questions are the only way they're going to find out.

lol, no. yet final weekend I heard slightly splash as my 6 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous and that i went into the restroom at walmart. It have been given quiet, yet very pungent. (i think of whomever grew to become into doing it have been given embarrassed and grew to become into attempting to faux she wasn't there - as a results of fact i could not even see the shadows of ft under the stalls as i attempted to make your mind up that have been empty!) in any case, my little lady grew to become into sitting on the potty looking like she is approximately to be unwell. thinking we've been the only 2 in the bathing room she, very loudly, asked why it smelled so undesirable. I informed her somebody might desire to have had to pass #2, yet that's not something we'd desire to continuously be speaking approximately in a public restroom as a results of fact that that kind of stuff is what they are for. some seconds later i assume the unfavorable individual in the subsequent stall could not carry it to any extent further and ... we could in simple terms say it have been given worse. My little lady regarded sicker as she moved quickly to get out of there. and that i had a stressful time not bursting out giggling as i seen this comparable tale you have published above and had this psychological photograph of my daughter inquiring for a "courtesy flush." (which she did not, as a results of fact she knows greater perfect.)

well, I hav seen kids troubling their parents and close relatives like tht.
may b u shd try explainin him tht those many possibilities are impractical.
If a kid is doin somethin repeatively, tht means he finds encouragement some where. Like someone is laughing, when he asks those kind of questions.

i think you are not explaining enough . you are just odering him to do things but not explaining why those are done.sit with your child and answer all his questions before beginning a project. but if your child is over 14 and still asks questions then he has some mental problems.

I did that when I was a kid. I remember driving my dad crazy, as well. He would say "There's no such thing as What If!!"
Stop answering his 'what if' questions. He'll stop asking.

Your child has a very vivid immagination. You are a lucky parent if you deal with your child as the child HE IS.

When my kid does that, I say "What if life happens?"
It gets her thinking quietly for a while.
