Curiosity raises children; control raises – Parenting

Curiosity raises children; control raises compliance. One builds thinkers, the other builds rule-followers. If you wonder with them, they’ll wonder about themselves with kindness. Wonder is how love asks questions.

Use a Question Sandwich: praise effort → ask one curious “how/what” → end with confidence (“I trust you to try”). Replace “Why did you…?” with “What were you needing?”
