Talk About It
- As your child watches the reaction, give them time to observe before explaining anything.
- You might notice excitement, surprise, or repeated requests to “do it again” — this is curiosity at work.
- Use simple language and follow their lead. If they ask questions, explore together rather than giving quick answers.
- Ask: What do you think will happen before we add the vinegar?
