when did kids stop asking 'why' after you answer and start just... accepting it? mine switched overnight and now i'm weirdly sad about itA dad spent a year documenting every ridiculous thing his kid said, turns out 'why' questions have a pattern that actually explains how toddlers learn.This mom realized her kid's constant "why" phase was actually them building a mental model of how causality works — totally changed how she answers questions nowMy kid asked why I was reading parenting books when I'm already a parent.. Fair point, I've been winging it the whole time.a guy tracked what his kids actually ate for a year and made a spreadsheet. turns out the "balanced diet" thing is way messier than it looks.
