How to train a your little boy

Logic and reasoning is underrated. Especially when talking to children or raising children, especially if the parent comes from the Sergeant-Major school of parenting. Being teachers, especially teachers who think critical thought is as important if not more important than their multiplication tables, we have attempted to teach it to our twins. Not so much in a Superman is a superhero- Superman wears his underwear on the outside.-Superman wears red underwear-Therefore, anyone who wears red underwear on the outside is a superhero-way.

We've done it with Evan. Jordan is a little bit too in her own world for us to attempt it now.

Evan: Papa, car go!
Packrat: We can't.
Evan: Why?
Me: What colour is the traffic light?
Evan: Red!
Packrat: So what happens when the traffic light is red?
Evan: Stop.
Me: So can the car go?
Evan: No.
Packrat: Why?
Evan: Because traffic light is red.
