Examining the wav we ask our children questions can be an important way to help them learn to think critically. Youngsters like Dave can fall into the habit of giving rote or programmed responses that require little or no imagination or consideration. Mom might have asked him about the most exciting part of the book; if it had any worthwhile lessons; if the hero seemed to be a real person; or if Dave planned to read another book by the same author. We must make questions to youngsters understandable. That means the questioner should be aware of the child's age and interest. I might ask my high school senior about the makeup of d might frown and give alpha particles, but an me a shrug. It's important to ask only one question at a time. A barrage of questions fired without waiting for answers may result in frustrating or confusing a young person. Your duties dont end when youve asked the question. After doing so, youre obliged to listen to the answer then explore that answer if it seems necessary or worthwhile. Youll want to make certain your questions are answerable. If your phrasing is vague, you may make what could be a sparkling conversation a drudgery for your son or daughter. Dont ridicule the response your Then, theres this no-nchild gives to one of your questions. Inquiry is a vital learning process. Questioning is the basic tool for inquiry, of course.

Children who have missed out on one or more of their vaccinations, he said, remain innocent targets for disease. It is for this reason, more than any other, that these preventable diseases are still with us. It is no longer necessary for children to fall victim to polio, measles and the other serious diseases for which vaccination is possible. But children still do fall prey to these diseases and will continue to do so until algebra; Krylon contest.
