MODERATORS
My wife and I agreed to this years ago before we had children to always explain to our kids in detail. I explain engineering and technology, she explains medical science and history.
I thought we would raise super smart kids but they'd just ask their question, go "oh neat thanks" and then play video games again.
Haha yeah my son is tired of my shit. You can see the instant regret sometimes as I "over explain" how something works. I'm trying to find a good balance so he doesn't stop asking questions.
A trick I found with my little cousin was to pretend to think about it for a minute. I'd say "ummm .... " and furrow my brow and be quiet for a few seconds. It creates this little moment of suspense which makes the answer seem more desirable to her.
This is good. Thank you!
I used to do this to my nieces and nephews but get scolded for "making fun of the children." Like it's my fault that they are universally idiots until somewhere around the third semester of grad school.
