					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://expatsincebirth.com/2013/05/18/questions-foster-the-thinking/#comment-2145&quot;&gt;Loving Language&lt;/a&gt;.

I&#039;m glad you liked. What I find fascinating in this is that it really takes the pressure away from us parents. We&#039;re constantly asked to take decisions and are so used to do it everywhere and with everyone, that we don&#039;t realize that our children can do it by themselves. Especially during power struggles we get into the defense mode and feel that we do also have to find a solution, but actually we don&#039;t ;-) Unless it&#039;s something really serious and too difficult for our kids to handle, they usually have all the tools to help themselves and we can give them a hint by asking them questions. - Good luck and let me know how it went, and which questions I could add to the list.]]></description>

Thank you, Misirlou, that&#039;s a very important one! It&#039;s so important for our children to learn how to fail and how to go on afterwards! You&#039;re perfectly right. – I&#039;ll add it into the text ;-)]]></description>

Ha, madrexilio, when our children are teenagers, this questioning gets to another level. I&#039;m having this with my son (he&#039;s 10) and the questions he asks are already quite challenging sometimes. But I really prefer the questioning than being the one who does the thinking for 4 (sometimes 5...) persons.]]></description>
