Why does my 5 year old ask so many questions?
The need to know: As your child grows up, they realize that there are so many wonderful things around them, and thus these questions are a way of finding out more about the world they inhabit. For a little child who is still coming to terms with the world, everything is overwhelming — hence the need to know.
Why does my child keep asking if I love her?
While sometimes this is a sign of a deep set insecurity or a lack of self-acceptance, sometimes it is simply a ritual or a habitual way of seeking attention from their parents – they know that when they ask question about whether they are loved they will always get a positive and reassuring response from their parents.
Is it normal for a 5-year-old to lie?
As frustrating as it is, this kind of manipulative truth-stretching is normal, since 5-year-olds are knee-deep in testing parental boundaries and their own power. What to do about lying. Stay calm.

What should I do if my child tells me something inappropriate?

This way, he’ll eventually learn that trying to pull the wool over your eyes just isn’t worth it. Explain why honesty is important.
How do you know if your child is losing their mind?
If your usually affectionate and loving child suddenly avoids physical contact. Bed-wetting or accidents. When your child is suddenly wetting the bed for no apparent reason and they never did that in the past, or if a potty-trained child suddenly starts wetting or soiling their pants. Lack of interest.
