Helicopter parents. Funny but true. It's can really be counter productive. But with the kind of things happening in the world around now, you can really blame those that hover.. |

damiso: Nice Damiso. I would only replace the word encourage by the word support as kids naturally have a very strong desire to explore the world so they need no encouragement but rather support. This is why Timbuktou's son is asking him all these questions. It is a child's natural desire to explore the world. And as the good father that he is, he is not killing the boy's curiosity but there to help him find answers (support). As they grow older we should give them methods and techniques to find the answers and solutions by themselves instead of offering every answer and solution on a silver plate. It will teach them problem-solving skills and boost their confidence and, who knows, maybe help them become visionaries who proffer solutions to humanity's most pressing questions. Timbuktou, what you said about Einstein is a myth. |

Mindfulness, thanks for the tip. I did a quick search and found out he actually did fail French , though not math. |

Timbuktou: Keep up the good work as a father, the world needs daddies like you I really enjoyed reading your comments here. |

Mindfulness: You are right support is a much better word to use. |

Timbuktou: Tell me about the unanswerable questions..LOL I wont lie sometimes I 'slip' into the typical naija mom ' don't kill me with questions' mode especially when I am tired.I decided to make it a conscious effort and these days we ( myself and hubby) even initiate the conversations. |

damiso: Well, reverting to typical Naija mom mode isn't such a bad idea, though what I typically do is urge him to come with the question at a later time. They also need to understand boundaries. I'm not Google, you can't just come at me with questions anytime you feel like. Also, good point on initiation. Reminds me of a recent occurrence where, on a road trip, I was teaching him the difference between a billboard and a signpost. He see me a little confused at first but once he got the hang of it I no her word again. "Daddy, see. Billboard." "Daddy. Signpost." etc. Though, I eventually tired of his excited declarations, I considered that time well spent considering he could have slept the entire journey. |
