I just read about this approach in another book! The author talked about how questions are a child’s way of expressing love and trust and their way of starting a conversation. So when the author’s child asked what’s that when pointing to an elephant or something else, she’d tell a story and her child would come and listen and relax, really seeking relationship over answers at times. I need to remember this!! Such a good way of looking at things!
