All kids do that. Its how they learn. Its normal and it isn't something you should be angry about.

The one thing that 3 year olds often ask is "WHY?" and its not really for informative purposes as much as it is the child's desire to learn how to interact and understand the rhythm of the language.
So when my 3 year old nephew asks, "What are you doing?" and I say, "I am changing a light bulb." He asks, "Why?" and I say, "So that we can see at night." He asks, "Why?" and I say, "So nobody falls or bumps into something" and again he asks, "Why?" and I say, "Because if someone gets hurt and is in serious pain and they might have to go to the hospital and get surgery and eventually they might lose their job because they were out of work for 2 weeks and cannot walk or do anything else until they get better." and then the kid says, "Oh."
And when a kid asks the same question over and over again, he is only seeking interaction. So if you give more of a complete detailed answer, the kid may not understand a single thing that you are talking about but at least he will be satisified with getting the response that he was looking for.

Are you saying your three year old asks many questions to which you answer but have to repeat over and over and it makes you angry? And you want to know how you can prevent this from happening?
Well, you must understand that a three year old is a child and that you should explain things that a child his/her age can understand.
Children are curious by nature and it really is a delight when they are at that age, exploring and want to broaden their minds with intelligence. It should be a joy for you to answer those little queries and I'm sure it is and it can be mundane having to repeat one's self. However, if you answer the questions where your child can understand, he/she won't keep asking the same thing over and over.
For instance, if the child is asking, why is the sky blue - he/she wants you to explain it in a kid's terminology the reason for this hue. You can't just say, "because that's how it is." That makes no sense to a child. :)
Be a little patient and think from a kid's perspective. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to comprehend the big world.

Translation: My three year old asks many questions. He or she repeats the question approximately twenty times and it makes me very angry. How can I stop this?
Answer: That is just what kids do. Is this a surprise? Set some boundaries with your kid.

children,by nature, are inquisitive.it's their way of learning about things.you would not be able to have full control over the way a child would ask the questions, but you have at the way you handle it.
first, you need to have a lot of PATIENCE.although i know, there will be times when you'll run out of it, at least try to understand that it's a very important part of the child's life and you have to be more sensitive about it.
you can start by being able to deliver the answer in a way a child would easily understand.big words can confuse them,and may have you end up in explaining more. try to tell it through stories or have it as a game.it's more interesting and fun at the same time.the child can then have less difficulty grasping the information and save you from explaining over and over again.
good luck! Ã

This might sound mean...BUT the ones the child is repeating, I personally would start to just tune the poor baby out. Repetition is not my thing. HONESTLY though, I would pray for patience. I don't have any kids, but am around them all the time, so I know what you are referring to. Also, don't underestimate your three year old, they may be smart enough to grasp the fact that what they are doing IS annoying you. So they MAY be doing it on purpose. Sit and talk to the child, like you would any reasonable adult. Explain why you don't like what they are doing, and if there are any consequences, explain them.

?? I'm guessing you are saying that your 3 yr old asks alot of questions....
yeah, thats what toddlers do, first you cant wait for them to talk, then you wish they would shut up! lol
When you child repeats the same question, turn it around on them, ask them.. see if they remember what you told them the 1st time or 2.
I use to make it a game with my daughter, and sometimes I would tell her that I was changing my name from "mommy" to to WHY!
dont get angry.... its a kid.

ha ha! I so know how you feel but its my six year old son that does it! He is ADHD and has a mood disorder which we have been going nuts with since he was born! He is the most loving kid ever but that kid will ask the same question over and over again for like a hour! Drives us nuts! I am glad I am not the only one!

Anyone who gets angry at a 3 year old child for asking questions is a bad parent. Children want to learn and repetition helps them learn. If you love your child you will find delight in this and be proud they want to learn. You are one selfish jerk.

Children do that.
You need to be firm and tell them that there is a limit to how many questions they may ask during the day, so they must choose wisely.

You pretty much deal with it, that's it. Every time one of my kids were young I went through this time with them. And you know what helped them to stop? I answered them. Yes, sometimes I answered them 10 times, but I answered them. They are just learning and growing, there is nothing wrong with that. Remember we all were once that age and we came out all right...I think...lol Prayers =)
