The Curious Little Mind

 

Today, I want to share a little story about my child and how I’m seeing her grow up in the most beautiful way.

Recently, I’ve noticed how curious she has become. She asks so many questions — “What is this?”, “What are you doing?”, “What is happening?” Her questions come from a place of pure curiosity, wanting to understand everything around her.

When she’s playing and building her own little stories, she often asks, “What is the character feeling?” If she’s watching a movie, she notices the emotions too. She’ll say, “Why is this person sad?” or “Did she feel bad when that happened?” She talks about emotions — happiness, sadness, excitement — with such innocence and clarity.

What amazes me even more is how she connects emotions with behaviors. She notices things adults do — in the kitchen, outside, or even while handling something risky — and asks about them too.

It’s a reminder of how children grow: through constant engagement, through questions, through wonder. Watching her makes me realize how important it is to encourage this curiosity, to let her explore, feel, and learn.

Every small question she asks is a step forward in her journey of understanding the world. And I feel so grateful to witness it.
