The prompt that gets copied
My child is [YOUR CHILD'S AGE, e.g. 9 years old] and asked me: [THE EVERYDAY QUESTION, e.g. why do wet clothes dry on a line?]. Please help them figure out the answer themselves instead of telling them. Ask one question at a time and wait for their answer. Start with what they already notice in real life, then build up step by step. If they're stuck, give a small hint or suggest a quick safe experiment we can do at home with things we already have. Use simple words and keep it playful. When they've got it, ask them to explain the whole idea back in their own words, then give them one fun follow-up question to wonder about next time.
Pick a question from daily life, like why clothes dry on a line, and turn on Study mode. Your kid answers one question at a time with hints, then explains it in their own words.
