RE: "Hey Daddy, why is the sky blue?"
thank you, that touched my heart. I feel the same love to your son as you do:) I am a parent as well and can very well remember some of the comments my son made when he was between 3 and 10. He now is a teenager, way younger than yours.
This never-ending "what if questions" I do know, too. Sometimes I think it is because of the answer points to death. And I guess I answered in this or that case I would be likely to die in that particular circumstance.
It is actually a pleasure to talk about death with kids. At a young age, they still are not afraid of it and unaffected by the adults fear.
The Tyndall explanation I must save for the next kids. They are on the way, my nephew just became a father.
Thank you for this lovley article!
I'm glad you liked it. :). I think you may have a point about the 'what if' questions pointing to death, or at least in that kind of direction. Kids have no fear of death because they consider themselves immortal, only old people die and they never realise they they too will be old someday. Glad to hear the 'Tyndall effect' will be passed on to the next generation! :)
