Publisher's Note: Our Children Have Scientific Minds from Birth.

By Melissa Shrader Editor Publisher Fort Collins Macaroni Kid January 23, 2023

Welcome

 It's hard to think that you need to educate your kiddos at an incredibly early age, but if you think about it, you are teaching them from the instant you give birth. They are learning from the first moment they open their eyes in this great big world. They learn what their parent(s) look like, the caress of a gentle hand, and smile on your face. They learn laughter, joy, hunger, sadness and so much more everyday. They also learn math, science, English and more without even trying. 

Did you know young children are natural scientists? They are naturally curious, love to ask lots of questions, and fearlessly investigate everything around them. If you aren't a science expert don't worry. Just encourage your young scientist to explore. Be excited when they want to share in their discoveries. Your child will have lots of questions, and you may not have all the answers. You don't have to. It's a great opportunity to say "I don’t know, but let’s find out together!” Get their minds going by asking questions like, “What are you wondering about? What do you notice? What do you think about that?”
Think like a scientist - ask questions, make detailed observations, develop a hypothesis, find answers using tests, and question your answers.
