How do you encourage curiosity in your child (between the ages of 8-12) and keep him or her asking questions?
Donna & I are excited to provide two people with free copies of our children’s book Color Me Purple. Donna says, “Color Me Purple is more than a book. There is the compelling storyline that provides information about 8 different types of intelligence (yes there is more than one) that we call ‘smarts.’ It is a flip-book and your child can make the butterfly — fly. Finally, and perhaps most importantly there are Information boxes, to be used for discussion about each smart. Empower your child!” I love this because it is Donna and layout designer Seth who provided all the creativity!

All Kinds of Smart 
Learning has always and is very important in our household. We encourage our grandkids’ learning in a variety of ways. We think you have to tailor the learning to the child ‘s needs. That being said, we try to get books that helps develop the kids interest and the work they are doing in school. For example, my grandson loves sports so we will finds sports books, magazines for him. My grandaughters loves science so we get books games that speaks to her interest in the science. We also connect them to people or events that can also enhance their learnings. For example, they attended science camp, a two weel computer coding class, millionaire’s Club and a variety of activities so that they can have exposure to different things, ideas career options etc. In addition we encourage them by asking questions doing research and reading. We also have family game times where we play a variety of board games that not only teach them sportsmanship but how to play with others. In addition, they all have library cards and belong to a book club at Barnes and Nobel. We make reading fun by having a healthy competition on the number of books read. We also encourage all of our grandchildren to learn something new each day even if it is a new word.
Thank you, Corinda, for your thoughtful response.
