My daughter cam to me this morning and asked "mum, do lady beetles have shells that they grow out of?"
The question was in response to finding a cicada case/shell, which she is now going to take to school and show her class
It got me thinking about all the wonderfully thoughtful questions they ask me on a daily basis. I know from their questions whether they are happy, content, or tired. But best of all their questions let me know that I have succeeded in producing children curious about the world and keen to learn more. Their questions tell me more about what they understand, what I need to teach and how to show them the answers. Yes sometimes their endless questions drive me nuts ( try watching the Olympics with one of my kids!
) But I wouldn't be without them.
How do you deal with the questions?
For this ladybug one I just answered " no " but thinking all the while i have a book oladybirds in the cupboard I should read at bedtime tonight!
Does anyone else do this?
