[quote=Anonymous]Whenever my 6 and 4 year-olds say something curious like this, I respond by saying, "What makes you say that?" or "What makes you think that?" Sometimes I get a response that I was not at all expecting. We adults tend to assume we know the reasons our kids say what they do. It could be that on the days you wear makeup, you also put on nice clothes and do your hair - and maybe it's the overall effect of how you look on those days that makes you look prettier. Maybe it's not just the makeup. Next time he says this, just ask him why he thinks that and you may have a better understanding of what he's thinking. Then you can determine the most appropriate response. [/quote]
