The most important word in English is only 3-letter long: WHY
It is the reason for scientific and technological progress!
It is also the most offensive word, especially with children!
Some behaviors cannot be explained rationally as they occur as an emotional response!
So next time you ask your kid WHY did you hit your sister, think!
And next time your kid asks WHY, try to offer a rational explanation they can understand with a soothing tone of voice!

I'm one of those who after asking "why?" and getting a detailed response then asks "what?".
