Why?

Why? This question sends shivers down the spine of any parent or teacher...it seems to cause people to freeze and begin to stammer!

But...'Why?'

Because it causes us to justify ourselves. To make ourselves vulnerable and open up our view / opinion on things. The facade we set up in order to keep people out is pulled down when we enter into a 'Why?' conversation.

We are also in a position where we allow our knowledge of a topic to be tested, stretched and we move closer to the point where we may have to admit we dont know the answer!!!

This is why...people fear this question - because we think that we should know everything and be seen too know everything by those around us or in our charge.

Seriously...whats is wrong with showing that we arent perfect...
