Answer 1

Usually children at this age don't need a very thorough answer. They just want to be acknowledged, and are sharing their observations with you. Remember - your little sweetie is only going to be four for a little while longer. Soon she won't care at all what you think and will think she has all the answers, herself. Although it can be frustrating, try to cherish this time.

Answer 2

the more questions she asks ,and the more time you give in giving the correct answers ,the better it will be for her future, she is gaining Knowledge and understanding which will also help when she starts education,shes far better asking and getting answers and gaining knowledge than sitting in front of the tv watching cartoons,give her all the help ,time and encouragement as you possibly can ,and you'l end up with a very intelligent little girl.



Edit;-Can you tell me why Zebras have black & white stripes please? I also asked this question when I was about 4/5 yr old,and still not had a decent answer,so maybe after 56 yrs I might get the answer from you ,or anyone else who has answered your question.

Answer 3

If your daughter doesn't ask these questions and get answers how is she meant to learn?? At this age children are the most impressionable and absorb so much information. It sounds very 'normal' what your daughter is doing......do you read to her?? When my children were younger and I read to them, say a book of 20 pages, it could take a week to read as they were all so inquisitive and every sentence I read them was followed by questions, about the how's where's, when's and why's........you can always throw some questions back at her say.....if she asks why have dogs got 4 legs?....see if she can work out why that is! Keep it fun but please don't try to get her to stop asking!

Its a wonderful innocent age.....cherish this time because it won't last long! Sounds to me like you have a wonderfully bright girl who just wants to absorb as much information as her little brain can hold.

Answer 4

My granddaughter was the same way...but she was so smart and had a really broad vocabulary. I would just answer the questions because if I didn't, she'd just keep asking. One time the weather was bad and I was having trouble seeing the road so I told her she couldn't talk until we got home, as soon as I hit the remote for the garage, she started asking a question and I said "I said no talking until we are home" and she said (at about 3) "technically, the garage is part of the house"....I had to laugh at that one!

Answer 5

It's all part of her development and learning.



A child asking a million questions about the world around them is a good thing. It shows that they are observant and confident. If you given them the answers they should grow up to be a healthy, intelligent adult!



As someone else mentioned, get your daughter kids books on how things work or why things are - they're filled with simple explanations and illustrations that are interesting and educational. Given her own time to read them, she will learn lots.

Answer 6

No. Their formative years are between the ages of birth and six years. They need to learn as much as possible, including that a voracious curiosity is a valued thing. Get a really good children's encyclopedia or one of those books for young children that explains why things happen and then when it gets 'too much' ask her too look it up for you. When she does it successfully, (which will happen after some coaching), then make a huge deal out of it and read the section to her. You will be teaching her the next important step in curiosity - research.

Answer 7

No, it never made me mad. You should be happy that she's thinking about stuff like that. There are plenty of books out there that answer these sort of questions. Don't just ignore her. Give her the right answers. Go to the library. I have a book here called "Why?" It answers questions like that. I've seen many similar books at the library. Don't make up stuff. Tell her the truth about how and why things occur. Encourage her questioning. That's what makes them smart!

Answer 8

I think all 4 year old are like this, mine was. Just be patient and answer the best you can. My daughter asked questions like.

Did Dinosaurs eat people?

Where do the Polar Bears live?

Do Polar Bears Eat People?

What do fish eat?

Are there fish in the Ocean?

and on and on

She was very interested in what things ate, Who know what goes through their minds.

Answer 9

Yes and it can be irritating sometimes,. But you should be proud that your daughter has such an inquisitive mind and wants to learn, and sees you as a fountain of knowledge to drink from

Answer 10

Yes It Bothers Me A Bit i don't mind though even my older daughters (Mel and Lauren) Don't Mind Answering questions like

How Do You Have Babys

Answer 11

Why would it make me mad that my son would want to know the world? and how it works and why things are the way they are? Did you not ASK questions when you were a child? I am pretty sure you did. Most kids do ask questions like that. Be patient with your child. My child asks me questions all the time. Play it a game then. Back and forth. She asks a question and you ask a question. She wants you to INTERACT with her and COMMUNICATE with her. What is wrong with that?????????



I am sick of people on here not interacting with their kids more and they ask questions like this so that they don't interact with them more.

Answer 12

It is cute the first 15 questions or so - but it can be annoying after 10 minutes of that... I switch it up and start asking her questions instead. That makes it fun too.

Answer 13

McAnthony my son is 3 going to 4, he always asking such questions...what we need to do is to answer their questions with good explanation in-order for them to know why NIGHT is always DARK and DAY is always BRIGHT.

From our good explanations we are broaden their understanding and sharping their knowledge.

Help your daughter she needs you at this stage.

Cheers!

Anthony.

Answer 14

It will continue till even after they turn 5. My dd is one of those too. It does get on your nerves when they keep asking question after question, but it is they way they learn stuff. Enjoy these days cause one day they will think they know it all.

Answer 16

do no longer problem approximately whether or no longer your inspired your newborn adequate as a infant. At this age, all babies start to ask your self approximately each and every thing and something. I particularly have 2 boys myself who're 3 and 5 and the two considered one of them have consistently been very inquisitive. Asking questions isn't in basic terms a level, yet think of touching directly to the questions she is calling. She sounds like an extremely sensible little female, and you're able to desire to be pleased along with her! while my babies went with the aid of that degree, I spoke back all of their inquiries to the superb of my skills and in the event that they weren't appeased with my solutions and it exchange into something shall we glance up on line or on the library, we researched it. Asking questions is the way that they learn and you're able to desire to motivate it! i encourage you to bypass on your community library and verify out some books for her that are age suited that answer lots of the questions she is calling. so some distance as why she needs to renowned why you do something diverse from daddy, you need to describe to her how there's no top or incorrect thank you to do something and all people learns to do something a various way. this could ease her problem. It sounds to me like all she is soliciting for is slightly recurring and something out of the norm concerns her. while she asks what's misguided with going any incorrect way, attempt and attitude it in a various way, extremely than answering her, ask her why she thinks you're able to desire to bypass the way she needed to bypass. in line with probability there are attractions she likes that way, in line with probability it makes her sense secure going that way through fact she is familiar with the guidelines that way. If she is particularly bothering you plenty mutually as driving, attempt enjoying a sport along with her. Ask her to hunt for letters or numbers, it may shop her preoccupied.
