And I can say the Dieter is one of he more verbal and inquisitive kids I've been around at this age. The verbal and inquisitive seem to increase the tendancy for the normal "Why"<br /><br />Basically, I ask a relevant question back which he answers and that distracts the question string and often stops it. At worst it may start a new string. In the middle, it provides the thread of a new conversation that, when pulled, leads away from the linked sequential "why".<br /><br />I can't think of any examples from earlier today when we went on the Boston Duck Boat tour. But when the next one occurs, I'll note it and pass it along for an example.<br /><br />Grandpa to Pequita, Maneto, and DieterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382977786479187693.post-53675462513189996312009-09-22T08:40:24.224-04:002009-09-22T08:40:24.224-04:00You made me laugh.
