During the period of 1-3 years old, babies have a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. They feel that everything they see is fresh and will keep asking questions. When babies ask questions, parents usually patiently help them answer. But few people know the reason why babies like to ask why, so why do babies always ask why?
This is because around the age of three, the baby's left brain begins to develop, which is known as the rational brain or the speech brain. Therefore, when the left brain develops, the baby will keep asking why.
So, whenever parents ask their babies back questions, such as "Why do birds fly while chicks don't?" "Where has the water that plants drink gone?" "Why can't babies play with water and electricity?" If parents ask questions that their babies have been exposed to and are uncomfortable with, their babies can basically answer them and learn knowledge.
In addition, the baby keeps asking why, and there is another reason. The baby cannot understand a certain question yet. When the baby feels that the question has not been understood, he will keep asking questions. Or there is another situation where when a baby asks a question, they already have an answer in their mind and just want their parents to give affirmation. At this time, parents should help and encourage their baby to speak up, regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong. Parents should give praise and encouragement.
