So my son is only 16 months, not dealing with this yet - but I'm wondering, when the infinite questions start and everything is met with "why? Why? Why?", do you think being a teacher makes it easier to deal with? I'm a high school science teacher and take a very "socratic" approach to teaching - I encourage questions on questions on questions, and most of my lessons we move through lots of topics. Anyway - my niece is about 5 now and her non stop questions irritate my sister no end, but I love it and could speak to her forever! Her brain is so open and curious, compared to my students she is a pleasure to interact with.
So I guess I wonder - does it not bother me just cause she's not my kid? When my son starts with the never ending questions will I find it awesome or annoying? Do you think being a teacher makes you better at dealing with the whys?
