The Gift of Curiosity: Training Observant Children | Episode 460

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Life is far more interesting when we stop to ask "Why?" Using a hidden iron ring on a canal wall in Manchester as an example, Dr. Roger Smith explains how parents can train their children to be world-class observers. This episode explores how to turn everyday walks into "clue-finding" missions, helping kids piece together the history and purpose of the things they see. Learn how simple activities like scavenger hunts and "why" questions build essential life skills—from critical thinking to practical problem-solving—and how your own curiosity is the greatest model for theirs.
