Being willing to learn! This is a relatively simple thing to teach your little ones – lead by example. From firsthand knowledge with my kids, I discovered that I had to be willing to learn myself. I had to show that learning develops knowledge and that knowledge is power.
Teach your children to learn, but don’t make it stressful. If your kids have a question, whatever it may be, explore it and educate them. If you don’t know the answer, look it up together and enjoy the time with your kiddo.
Keep a journal of what you and you child are learning. Cut out pictures and paste them on the journal page with the words that explain the cool, weird, or funny thing they asked about. It’s an interesting project and fun for both of you and the whole family.

I love the idea of creating a scrapbook about the things children ask about. I wish I had one to illustrate the time my toddler asked me—in a very loud voice in the grocery store—how her soon-to-be born sibling got into my belly!
