Re: Teach kids to stop asking questions?
Agree with MoS.
Many of my standard replies:
I don't know, what do YOU think?
You should ask daddy about his lunch when he gets home.
We can look that up when we get home. Will you remind me, please?
Great question! You can look that up during your computer time.
I've also realized in my own parenting that I *want* to be fully on and available for them at all times, but I just can't do it. So I also will answer with:
Honey, I love talking to you but mommy's head is tired right now. Will you ask me later?
Mommy needs a quiet time. Let's hold our questions until XXX o clock.
