Happy Children’s Day from Edsofta! 🌟

Today, we celebrate the dreams, creativity, and limitless potential of every child.

Here’s to raising future leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

Today is World Book and Copyright Day, a moment to reflect on how books shape our thinking and why every idea deserves respect.

At EdSofta, we believe learning grows stronger when people value the words they read and the minds that create them. Books carry knowledge, effort, and originality that should always be honoured.

When we respect books, we protect creativity and encourage a future built on thoughtful ideas and responsible learning.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOUR CHILD IS VERY CURIOUS OR ASKS A LOT OF TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ON A PARTICULAR SUBJECT MATTER

Straight-to-the-point answer: set up the child to find the answer. For example, by buying them a large encyclopedia.

We recently did a post where we shared 3 signs a child may be a good fit for learning science-based skills.

And one of the signs is, a different level of curiosity where they ask questions based on higher-order effects. That is, for every answer you tell them, they ask another question based on it.

We know, as parents, it can be overwhelming to always have to answer their questions.

One way to handle this in the meantime and create a win-win situation is this:

Get the child a very large book that contains the subject matter, and have them start reading it over time. For example, Science Encyclopedia by National Geographic Kids or Where on Earth? Atlas: The World As You've Never Seen by DK.

After getting them an encyclopedic book, another thing you can do is this: Ask them to do regular presentations to the family and ask them questions.

See what you've done now? You're now the one doing the asking of questions. 🤣 You're training them to be able to find answers to questions (do research).

To make it sweeter, you can even tell them what areas you plan to ask them questions on ahead of time, so they prepare.

And as they grow in this habit of reading (what they already have a liking for), summarizing their findings, and presenting them, trust me, they're already gaining serious mileage for their future.

We hope you found this helpful.
