Teach your kids to THINK by “wondering” out-loud.

Hmmm

Be intentional

I wonder WHERE

🏞 toilet paper was invented?

🏞our rice comes from?

🏞 that missing sock goes once it packs itself and leaves the dryer?

🏞 you will love when you move out someday?

Hmmm

I wonder WHAT would happen if

👉 I didn’t eat every bite on my plate.

👉 I take the time to send a card or visit in person rather than text message.

👉 I unplugged all electronic devices for the day

Hmmm

I wonder WHY

⁉️ you can hear me unwrap chocolate from across the house, but you don’t hear me ask you a question when we are two feet apart.

⁉️ it’s colder at the top of a mountain if heat rises?

⁉️the author chose to end this book they way she did?

Hmmm

I wonder WHEN

🕰 we can lay outsode and look at the clouds go by?

🕰 you will realize how much I respect you as a person?

🕰 you will no longer need me to show you how to do that because you become a pro?

Hmmm

I wonder WHO

🦶🏼discovered moldy cheese is edible?

🦶🏾will cure cancer?

🦶🏿comes to complete stops at stop signs more: men, women, new drivers?

🦶🏻was the first person to sky dive/snorkel/ strap themselves into a rocket ship

🦶🏽decided link is a girl color?

Hmmm

I wonder HOW

🧐people use this math concept in real life?

🧐 many different words we can think of together that would replace the word “said”

🧐 how we can organize our day so we are BOTH content with our progress tonight?

🧐 how I can help you achieve your goals?Wonder.It’s caught by our kids when they see our own curiousity and excitement.

Be ok if wondering causes you to chase rabbits that are not on your to-do list.

At the end of the day, we want our kids to be excited, curious, and motivated to learn……and those things are discovered along the way.
