Thankful for Late Night Talks

What is the meaning of life?

Why do people like to…?

Why is it so hard to…?

What do you think about…?

And other such existential questions…

If you know anything about the Socratic method

Or inquiry based learning…

I LOVE to answer a question with a question.

Have you ever thought about…?

What about in this situation…?

Or a story.

That reminds me of when…

Have I ever told you about…

What is SO hard about these sweet moments…

Is that you can rarely predict when they are coming.

The child has to be curious.

And willing to talk.

And willing to listen.

In fact… the safest bet?

That it will be inconvenient.

It will probably be late at night.

And when you want to do something else.

Or when you need to get to bed.

I am thankful for these moments.

I am thankful for late night talks.

Little things and little lessons

That add up over a lifetime!!

It helps me teach them about life…

It helps form their worldview!!

When do kids in your life tend to have deep and profound questions?

When do you get to impart your adultly wisdom?

Isn’t it fun!?
