Part 2: Encouraging children to ask questions is essential for their development, according to research by the University of Michigan CS Mott Children’s Hospital and the Center for Human Growth and Development.

Curiosity is also more critical to good school performance than the ability to focus, as children’s questions can lead to better learning opportunities. The study emphasised the importance of developing curiosity, especially among disadvantaged children, to address the achievement gap between poorer and richer students. Dr Prachi Shah, the study’s lead researcher, suggests that promoting curiosity should be a foundation for early learning.
