Help: My Son Wants To Know Why The 7 Continents Starts And End With Same Letter by Built2last: 5:12pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
Hello people, My 4 year old son asked me just now as I was taking them to swimming lessons the following questions My son: Dad Me: yes, I have some questions for you. 1. What is the difference between the World and the Universe....I managed to answer, explaining the cosmos, the firmaments and the galaxies. He didn't seem satisfied and threw question two. list the continents in the world? First, i was confused if it's 6 or 7 continents we have. I was not sure. I also was careful because it maybe they discussed it in school or he read it on the world map I placed in their room. I managed to list 6 while He wrote them down at the back seat. He said its remaining one. I remembered and completed the 7. Then came the last question why i seek help. Who gave the continents their names and that he just noticed that they all start and end with same alphabet. E.g Africa, Asia, Europe I stylishly pretended to be distracted by the cry of his younger sister but that question will resurface again. If not after swimming today it will be tommorow. He never forgets totally. So who named the continents and why do they start and end with same letter. Lalasticlala abeg help. Make I no throw way my chairmanship for ground. |

Setting aside the obvious lie (e.g, saying you explained the differences between cosmos, firmament and galaxies to a 4 year old), I'll simply advise you to let him know what coincidences are and how they are a part of life, and to teach him more of verbal and quantitative reasoning. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Father:"Oceania doesn't start and end with the same letter son, it's just a coincidence" son:" and who named these continents" Father:" evil world conquerer, such as Europeans son... For example the Americas was populated by indigenous tribes from south/north WAY BEFORE evil Europeans discovered these lands and decided to renamed them as new found lands in the west (of Europe)... And appropriate them as their own European colonies.... The Same nonsense happened in Africa" Son:" but that ain't right dad" Father:"I know son, many things about the history of this world ain't" 1 Like |

I laugh when I read comments of people who don't believe the strange questions from a 4 year old. My kids do wonders with my Ipad. They ask questions that make you wonder. Sometimes I wonder if I gave birth to them. I am not half intelligent when I was double their age. 1 Like |

thesicilian: Thanks, I wasn't teaching him anything. We were going for swimming lessons . He asks questions spontaneously. I hadly have time for academic lessons with him. Although that has been taken care of by their mum. 1 Like |

Marvel1206: Do you have kids? Do they go to good schools. Are you open with them to ask you anything You won't be surprised. Our children are far more intelligent than we are. |

Built2last:I don't have kids but i relate with kids very well. Anyway, if you say that he really asked these questions, then he'll turn out to be very brilliant |
