epends on the light of the stars, but a person can see only the white heavenly bodies since they are the most burning-hot.
A complex scientific answer will exactly satisfy the curiosity of a child, who has a logical mindset and likes to have accurate data. All other children will find this answer too complicated, so they will not ask their parents “why” for long. In 78% of cases, a child will not understand the essence of the answer and will not be able to draw a personal conclusion based on it. As a result, the child will become a living encyclopedia that will spend a lot of time digesting the scientific fact.
To all of you, my lads, and each let this tale a lesson teach!
To warm up interest in the knowledge of the world, parents often come up with believable stories in a fairy-tale form. For example, parents can say that the stars are painted with special luminous paint. Inventing an interesting fairy-tale answer, be on the alert: this option will suit only for a baby. Usually, the heroes of children’s fairy tales are humanized, so excessive infatuation with these stories can be a problem in the future. The child will repeatedly ask the question of interest to him or take a fairy answer as a fact.
The misconception about the surrounding reality will have to be corrected later, therefore the invented answer is definitely not suitable for preschoolers and first-graders.
Multiple choice answers
The most interesting and popular way to answer “deadlock” questions is to offer the child several options from which he can choose the most believable. For example, you can bring data from the Internet and the most popular scientific theories. By offering the child a choice among different versions, you will help to realize one truth: there is no one settled opinion on an important issue. Such an interesting answer will help the child to decide on independent thoughts and experiments. However, here too, there is one difficulty: do not interfere with the fantastic answer and the scientific, because the child will be particularly difficult to understand what kind of a point of view is worth taking.
Right on the mark
The simplest and most effective answer that can only be voiced in a serious conversation with the child is an accurate and exhaustive explanation. In the case of the stars, we can say this: “The universe is full of riddles and phenomena that scientists are still trying to solve. In the Cosmos, certain processes take place every second, after which we see the light of distant stars.”
Getting an accurate, capacious and thoughtful answer is the best response to any “deadlock” question. Explanation of a complex fact in simple words stimulates the curiosity of the baby and proves to him: it is always possible to rely on the parent. The answer is to be built so that it retains the effect of understatement, which will stimulate the child to new scientific discoveries.

When a growing kid runs to parents with a “deadlock” question, they should not distract his attention and hurry back to business. Even the most incomprehensible and inconvenient questions help the child to know the world, and in this difficult matter, mother and father should be a serious support. And most importantly – if mom and dad cannot give the child time and give him a believable or correct answer, the kid will definitely ask his question to someone else. The influence of strangers on the child should not be categorically allowed. In this case, it may be harmful to communicate with other children.
Try to encourage the craving for knowledge and give the child answers to the questions that he needs to understand. But, at the same time, do not be afraid to say “I do not know, let’s find out together”.
