How To Answer A Question From Your Kids That Stumps You

How do I answer a question that stumps me?

When your child asks you a question that you don't know the answer to or you feel stumped, it's interesting to take a step back and try and figure out what it is inside of you that's blocking. Do you not know the actual answer which will allow you to go down the track with your child? For example, say "let's go figure out how electricity works because I'm not really sure". It's a great experience to bond together. It may be a question such as "Mommy, why do you look so sad?". You may say to yourself "Hmm, I guess I have got to figure that out inside of myself because I'm not free to answer that" and then move on with the answer. But in general, if you're stumped, and you really don't know the answer, you don't know if it's about you or a lack of knowledge, put it back onto your child and say "Why do you think I look sad today Johnny?" or "Why you think electricity works the way it works?".
