The goal is to deepen your child's thinking about new discoveries by stimulating language and building on background knowledge.
And you don't have to know all the answers you can make searching for information together part of an exciting, shared learning process. There is no better way to raise a curious child than to encourage him to ask questions - lots of them. You never know when a new discovery will capture your child's fancy, but chance favors you if you are open to new experiences, seek knowledge yourself, and encourage his curiosity. It might be a friend's new pair of shoes that light up, a book about dinosaurs, a trip to a new place, a passing fire truck, or a bug sitting in the grass. The boys' excitement quickly turned to curiosity, and a stream of questions came pouring from them both: "Are these bones from real dinosaurs? How do we know if it's a boy or girl? How old are the bones? Why do some have big bodies and little heads? How come the dinosaurs aren't alive today? Did they live here in New York?"Ī young child's interest can be sparked easily and at any time. "And there's the stegosaurus," said Luke. On a trip to the Museum of Natural History in New York City, 5-year-old Luke and 6-year-old Ethan were awestruck by the giant skeletons on display in the Hall of Dinosaurs.
