- Why is water wet?
- How do aeroplanes stay in the air?
- How do I do long division?
- How much does the earth weigh?
Do these questions stress you out? If so, you aren't the only one. I read
this great article
about parent's reluctance to say "I don't know" to their kids in the
Huffington Post today by David Suzuki and thought you might like it.
Many parents ... believe they must appear infallible in the eyes of their children. A U.K. survey
found that some moms and dads fear questions such as "Why is the sky
blue?" and "Why is the moon out during the day?" Math and science
queries were the biggest stumpers. - D. Suzuki
Beware though: this
is David Suzuki, so it naturally leads to political and environmental issues... the
linked article from the UK sticks better to the point of the story with some great examples.
