Parents are the source of information
When your child asks a question, answer honestly, factualy, and with enthusiasm.
Your child will quickly come to the conclusion that you have all the answers. He will see you as a source of information. He is right. You are the source of information for him.
When he trusts you with one of his brilliant and usually quite dificult -to-answer questions, rise to the occasion. If you know the answer, give it to him on the spot. Don’t put him off it you can possibly avoid it.
If you don’t know the answer, tell him you don’t know it. Then take the time to find the answer.
