How do I teach my child that not EVERYTHING is learned in school?
My son loves to ask questions, and when i answer them he asks me how i know that. So i tell him well i learned it at school. Now he assumes we learn everything from school. He asks what the dog is doing, if i say i dont know he goes why not i thought you went to school! How do i explain to him that not everything is learned at school??

You could just say "I actually just know that. Sometimes I know things I learned other places, like work, home, from books" Then just keep repeating it.
Sometimes kids look forward to what they might learn in school. It's not an odd idea; it makes sense because the vast majority of their time is spent there.Found an answer to your question?
