why do little kids like asking so many questions?

Question

as like myself.

Answer 1

They still care

Not like adults

Answer 2

This is a normal part of their development. They are trying to figure out how things work in this world. Sometimes, they observe things that are at odds and they want to know why. Other times, they simply are curious. But if you are asking a lot of questions too, then you must want to know. So do they. Here is a great website that will let you know how stuff works.

Answer 3

Like many of the other answerers say, because they want to know. Also, when they keep asking "why?" it's because they like having the undivided attention of an adult and they also want to learn how things are hooked together.

So just keep answering. It makes the kids smarter, and it keeps you thinking too.

Once a friend's 9-year old asked me "Why, why, why?" for an entire 8-hour drive to a ski resort. And, as best I could, I told him why, why, why. We hit just about everything -- light scattering in the atmosphere, magma currents under the earth's crust, formation of the moon, ocean currents, global warming, function of the rain forests in the global weather cycles; you name it. One question led to another.

Later his Mom (my friend) told me, "No one's ever taken that much time to talk to him before." He was sound asleep -- probably his busy little brain was digesting. He's a successful architect now. It probably is almost entirely due to his Mom's great parenting, but I like to think I helped a teeny bit.

I used the same approach with my kids. By the time my daughter was 10, she would ask a question and quickly add, "And Mom, don't tell me TOO MUCH!"

Talk to them as much as they want when they're little and they'll still want to talk to you when they are teeners.

Answer 4

Children like to ask many questions because at this very young age their minds are meant to absorb information like a sponge. Children are known to have a thirst for knowledge, as you can tell children are more interested in school, while teenagers rather skip and party. The more you teach your children at a young age, the better likelyhood they will remember what you had said, because at this young age their interest in what you have to say is very high. Try and teach your children as much as possible before they grow into teens and don't care at all what your opinions are.

Answer 5

They are curious and want to acquire knowledge regarding their surroundings. This is an unknown world to them unless they ask their questions and receive comprehensible answers. I think it could be comparable to putting an American (or a native of any country) into foreign land. The ways of life and traditions of the foreign land are alien, so gradually, by acquiring the language and ways of communication as well as continuously asking questions to clarify any confusion (much like children do) one can adapt to the lifestyle.

Answer 6

They are on the need to know basis. If you can't find the answer, ask a friend. Thats, what the kids do. Your old enough to google it tho, so thats not a fair question.

Answer 7

they are extremely curious about the world, and want to learn more. naturally, they have an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

adults do the same thing, but they pick and choose which subjects to ask about.

i enjoy answering my son's billion questions. i make it a challenge for myself. let's see how many questions i can answer before he stumps me! lol

Answer 8

little kids want to know that the world is simple and that they could easily be a part of it by knowing these "simple" things so they ask questions waiting to recieve answers that show that every thing is easy and FUN

Answer 9

they love to explore and learn everything they can
so when they say ?Why is the sky blue? and you answer it, then they say but why? till you get to a point where you say Because that's how it is ..they then may ask well then why is the grown green? where did grass come from ? Why?? It's just something kids do* so try to answer honestly to them and bascially to the point.

Answer 10

Not all kids question so much. if ur kid questions, then he will be a brilliant. Only kids who question so much will develop their creativity, reasoning, and their brains develop sharp absorbing things easily. If ur kids question you so much, dont get irritated and try to explain all of them. some may be silly questions, but still if u explain them, they will develop good.

Answer 11

Because they're born knowing nothing. The only way they learn is if they ask questions.
