		<description>Hello Treadmarkz-

Why, why, why! Why does a child keep asking why?

Just for you (and anyone other fabulous parents who would like to know), I will answer your question about &quot;why&quot; in a later post.  As you can imagine, it&#039;s a question that I get from parents often.

I know it may not always seem like it, but it&#039;s wonderful that your child is so curious-- since that is how he learns.  However, I can understand your frustration since it seems it never stops!

For the short term, try to answer your child&#039;s question as well as you can.  You can turn to books or the internet to help as well.  Beyond that, make a discussion out of it and ask your child why he thinks its so!  He&#039;ll likely love to engage in this sort of conversation with you.

Again, I will answer this question more thoroughly in an upcoming post.  Check back!

Thanks for your questions-- keep &#039;em coming.

Best regards,
Dr. Robyn</description>

		<description>But surely you don&#039;t tell a child all of that when they inevitably say &quot;Why&quot; when you say that we have to have an extra day this year. How would you explain it to a child when you know that Why is their favorite word?</description>
