Have you ever had to google the answer to something your kid asked, just so you wouldn’t look like an idiot?
Someone polled 2,000 parents with kids six and under. And the average person can’t answer HALF the questions their kid asks.
On average, young kids ask 11 questions a day, or just over 4,000 a year. And parents only know the answer to 42% of them.
The most common questions have to do with understanding the world around them. Things like animals, nature, and current events.
Parents were asked to name the most interesting question their child has ever asked. Answers included “Why is the sky so high?” . . . and “Why can fish keep their eyes open underwater?” (Answer: They don’t have eyelids.)
Thanks to questions like that . . . and stuff they learn in school . . . 81% of parents say they learn just as much from their kid as their kid learns from them. On average, children teach their parents five things a week. That’s 260 things a year.
