Children have a natural development cycle between the age of 1-15 years. There are critical periods of Child development like some of these; 1st year - Physical self, between 2-3 years -emotional self, the emotional self develops through genetic programming as well as subconscious absorption of thought energy from the external world, 3-6 years -conceptual self - development of language and words to label the world, 7-11 years - concrete self, engagement with the material world starts, whatever the child sees around themselves, they want to know to build knowledge, 11-15 years- transpersonal self- self-thinking emerges from the knowledge they have acquired till this time. Children take action based on the knowledge they have acquired.
The questions children ask are mostly attuned to these development cycles. These build their personality and it all happens subconsciously for a child. It's important to provide appropriate answers to your child's questions and curiosity, as these answers lead to deep subconscious memories.
Are you worried when you are not able to answer some of the tough questions asked by your child ? How do you handle such a situation when you are not able to answer your child's questions?

Hello Ma'am ! I am the mother to a 9 year old girl who's quite inquisitive by nature. She asks me this question repeatedly- 'how was she born? ' and 'Is it parents choice or God's choice to give birth to children', I believe the answer that 'angels blessed me with her' and 'God gifted me' are not really convincing to her. What should be my reply to her as I really do not know to how much extent and what all I can explain to her. Please help me with your valuable advise. Thanks in advance!!

Namstey Madam and Hello Sir! Recently I noticed my 10 year old son watching an adult scene on phone. What should have been the right reaction from my end as I was so shocked after seeing him do this and became numb and speechless for sometime. Out of us both, who should be talking to him about it and how can we stop his curiosity at this stage only and ensure he doesn't watch it again even in our absence. Thanks Ma'am !! Your advise has always proved really helpful to us .

Ma'am I have two children, a 12 year old girl and a 10 year old boy . Recently my daughter started with her periods. There are ocasions when she has stains on her dress. Her younger brother gets really flustered and panics when he sees that. How and when do we explain to him about this and let him know it's normal? Or we should wait until he learns on his own about it as he grows up. Please advise. Thanks !!

My son is 7 years old. He is so inquisitive to know about galaxy / universe . I answer him as much as I know. But at times, there are few questions that comes from his end for which I don't find answer anywhere. On such circumstances, how should my response be without giving a negative reply, such as "no", " I don't know", " no idea"?

I was travelling with my 5 years old son last week. We came across churches, temples, mosques. I was pointing out the worship places and telling him, This is church. Christians go to church. This is temple. Hindus come here and so on in detail. He asked me, " why there are so many Gods? Which God is good / real"?. How can I explain such things to my son? Please help.
