A survey of 2,000 Americans with young kids found that the average parent will answer 11 questions daily.
76% of questions concern the world, and 64% are related to school subjects. Parents can answer 42% of questions, and when they're stumped, they commonly turn to friends, doctors, or school teachers.
But learning is not a one-way street: The average parent learns something from their child five times a week.
"All parents and caregivers can support the well-rounded development of their children by embracing a child’s curiosity, appreciating their unique talents and personalities and supporting their individual social, emotional and academic development," Dr. Lauren Starnes Loquasto of The Goddard School said.
