When a child asks, “Where does thunder come from?” Of course you could say: “Air pressure.” Or you could say: “It’s the sky clapping its hands when it’s happy.” That’s not being silly. That’s emotional language and it’s how imagination is built. A child who only gets explanations doesn’t always learn how to think… They learn how to agree. A child once asked why leaves fall. The answer they got? “Because trees get tired of holding them.” For a whole week, that child gathered fallen leaves and whispered, “Rest now.” Facts give us knowledge. Metaphors give us empathy. Children need both. Somewhere along the way, adults confused “developing intelligence” with stripping away wonder. But every overly precise answer can quietly replace life with theory. A child’s brain doesn’t just crave facts. It craves play between possibilities. That’s where creativity lives. That’s where trust in the world begins. I tried something recently: One week without answering a single “why” literally. “Why does moss grow on trees?” My reply — “It’s nature’s blanket, it keeps the trees warm.” Here’s what I’m learning: Magic isn’t the opposite of logic. It’s a different kind of attention. Where adults see physics, children see meaning. And if we don’t protect that way of seeing… One day it fades, like an old photograph. Children don’t experience the unknown as danger. They experience it as play. As long as the adult beside them isn’t afraid to say, “Let’s imagine together!” Sometimes that sentence heals more than a hundred clever explanations. Because what a child really needs isn’t always the answer… it’s the feeling that their question matters. So next time, try asking: “What do you think?” You might just see the world differently too.
