I have a child who in an uneventful day will pose an average of 50 questions; on an eventful day, the average might double. How do they do it? It’s easy to be overwhelmed. I am often overwhelmed. My wife is a much more patient saint. But the point is we do want inquiring children. They are image-bearers in their world created by their God and their goal is to explore the grain of sand and the grand questions of life. Let them be curious. Let them ask. Let them explore life in all its beauty and mystery. Don’t crush their quest.
