From the beginning of the World till date, a lot has changed, attributed largely to human interventions in every sphere of life. Science for instance, has greatly professes and recreates the entire universe into a more comprehensible entity while new discoveries and milestones are being reached every now and then.

However, despite all these, there still exists some life issues that people need to personally pass through the scenario to experience the actual feelings, the pain or gain before you can certainly and correctly claims authority with vivid knowledge, whether sweet or soar. One of such is the joy of Parenthood and the process of raising your kid(s) from Toddler to Adolescent. And this process involves emotional, physical and social developments to have a solid foundation for an excellent Adulthood.

While Kids are growing up, due to brain and thought developments, they become so curious about almost everything on site. Hence Mom? Yes? Why this, why that? Especially when they start learning things from school.
A child who has gotten to a very high percentage of brain development can ask you any question. Ones that are seemingly higher than the age, and funny enough as old as you are as an Adult, answers to such questions might even eludes you sometimes. Kids, having built up an amazing intellectual capacity to study things, analyze, even reacts and as well have a comprehensive interactions base on those skills, as a result of personal reasoning, feelings imagination and retentive memory, even his or her beliefs sometimes. For instance, one of the most difficult questions I remember asking my Dad was “ who designed those lines on my palms?” even till His death at 135years old, the Old man couldn’t give me an answer. Although, thanks to science, we can have answers to virtually anything if traces through right channels.

Obviously, these questions most times sounds or appear to us as 'funny', that’s when parents choose to be polite or nice to the Kids, but we atimes call them ‘stupid questions' especially when we are out to demonstrate our ‘superiority’ Afterall ' what does Kids know?’
I must admit though, we have some fantastic parents who rather sees and appreciate kids and treat those curiosity as blessings.

However, if generaly we take time to reflect on these questions, go deeper in thought and appreciate the fact that something must have definitely triggered such before we blatantly disregard or shut up the Kid, like in one of @steemladder posts “ no dumb question” we will discover that it’s an opportunity for us to either remember our sweet younger days or most importantly see a free ticket for in-depth brainstorming, and adventures, and in turn applaud, encourage and help the kids whichever way we can to bring out the Geniuses in them.

Imagine, your Kids asking you something like…Daad!? Yees?

• How many gallons of water makes the ocean?
• Mom! Mom!... rushes to you with a fist carefully raised... see I've got some air in my fist…can I show you?...and when innocently opened the fist…nothing… disappointedly… there comes your question…Mom? Where did the air go?
• Or put this way, if your Kid just asked you why the plant in the picture below is not the same in length?'
Better still, the Kid help me complement my own question I asked my Father, by asking you now ' why are those fingers in the picture not equal?'

On the other hand, as an Adult, what nature of thoughts usually runs through our minds most times?
Have you ever wondered 'where all those thoughts emanates from. What actually triggered them, creative, positive or negative, good or evil?

Though a Newbie on this platform, but for the few write-ups I have been privileged to read, photographs, graphics designs, science or business compositions etc, even the ability to accurately juxtapose an old photograph to tell a story in the present. Little wonder our activities here on the platform is called “proof of brain” Most times, I have to go into a very deep thinking, in search of suitable choice of words when writing comments, on how to perfectly express and qualify these creative works in order not to appear flattering or posting spams. Like the creative works on the locally made bamboo piece in one of my pictures, another evidence of people's ingenuity everywhere. While the designs on the wooden piece to me depicts the complexity in human thinking capabilities.

And now I am very convinced that a large number of our Community Geniuses must have been a 'hard nut to crack' while being Kids considering the level of IQs, unassuming presentations and deliveries.

In conclusion, my Mom used to say “ when you are empty in wisdom, you are dead” And considering the potency of our thoughts, Writers, Speakers, even Preachers do advise to guide our thoughts and instead channels them positively. Hence, all thanks to the Steemit platforms for being Haven for thoroughbreds ideas.

I sincerely appreciate your time.
