Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many questions at a time.

Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many.




-------------

It is usually children at the age from 2 to 5 ask so many questions at a time.

They are so curious that ask next question without listening the answer to the previous question.


Curiosity is  VERY  GOOD  human/children quality,  but studying  Math requires to be more patient/endurant . . .

It does not assume to be in a state of permanent panic . . .


Regarding very young children,  when they asks many questions at a time,  their
guiding motivation often is not so much getting the answer,  as to concentrate the attention of adults on themselves.
