I only have one son but I know children pretty well considering my
Bachelor of Science degree in Child Studies.So I know that children ask
tons of questions each and every day. I also found that out when I was a
lead pre kindergarten teacher at a private early childhood learning
center. Anyhow, JJ asks questions from the moment he wakes up until he
is in bed for the night. He wants to know everything. Many times I can
not even answer his questions. His questions have depth and are very
detail oriented and elaborate. A child may ask,” what shape is that?”
and JJ will keep going from there. Not only does he want to know the
shape of the object but the reasoning behind it. He needs to know it
all. He likes to know the steps of the things we are doing and he always
seems to be thinking ahead because he will ask how many more steps and
what the next step will be. Jorge will ask about words in Spanish but
also have the need to know why they sound the way they do and things of
that nature. Where are we going? Why are we going? Are we there yet?
What are we getting there? Why are we getting it? Where are we going
next? What are we going to do later? Yes, that is all typical of him and
he does question in that order and manner all of the time. He is wise
beyond his years and oh so curious that he really does teach me a lot
about life and more. I learn patience as well. I never thought he would
talk this much and I thank God because he never talked until he was
after 3 years of age and beyond. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and I
have to let it soak in. But how can I answer , why are are oranges
orange? Hmm..many times I can be stumped. He is very intelligent and
must know details to many things. When he asks me something!, whatever
it may be, he will ask my husband the same question just to get some
kind of reassurance. Today was , how long is an hour mommy? It is a long
time JJ just go upstairs and grab your book or toy. I can easily say
60 minutes and that can turn into what is sixty minutes? And so on and
so forth. It can get challenging but I learn everyday and I try my best
to apply new knowledge in every situation. My indigo child of the new
world….. We need to give children more credit. They are important and
they matter. Not only is JJ the future, he is the present and making his
footprints as all children have the right to do. I still do not know
how to answer why oranges are orange..do you?
