WHY?

[emma28]

My Dh is 3 and he asks why ALL the time, it's driving me mad. I like to try and answer him so he learns but its nipping my head now somethinng chronic. He must have asked WHY? 1000's of times today.

I know it's probs a phase but I'm sure it was ment to start a lot later than 3

awww bless him, i've got a 5 yr old like this!
if you think about it though, hes inquisitive & how do kids learn about the world around them? from asking us questions of course!

just grin & bear it & answer him & he may get fed up soon

or simply say now & again to him........go & ask Daddy

my brother is 5 now but when he was yonger i had it allll the time
"why is the sky blue" etc etc in the end i used to say "because i said so"



its a cute stage

But mine's full of ironing.

I'd still put him in if I thought he could do it...

aww sweet - you could ask him "why do you think it is?" and see what he comes up with, it will make the phase more amusing I guarantee, plus it teaches them to think for themselves
