<\/p>\nAll children are curious and (very!) often ask adults the question \u201cWhy?\u201d. They just want to understand why things are the way they are in life.<\/p>\n
Of course it\u2019s charming but there are days where we don\u2019t want to answer because we\u2019re tired, have no time, or simply don\u2019t know the answer.<\/p>\n
After receiving messages from our readers, Lee and the team decided to answer our little ones\u2019 questions and give parents a helping hand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First of all, this was a medical term used in the 17th <\/sup>century which has become a common expression for showing emotions when feeling afraid or cold.<\/p>\n The brain is the first to react and orders the small muscles on the surface of our skin with hairs to stand up which creates natural insulation by allowing an air blanket to protect us when we feel cold or to give us some courage when something feels dangerous.<\/p>\n \u00a0 The sky is blue because sunlight is scattered when it reaches the atmosphere.<\/p>\n Let me explain. The atmosphere is made up of several molecules such as carbon dioxide, ozone, water in the form of vapour (otherwise we\u2019d be permanently showered, not ideal for our hairstyles!), dinitrogen (a molecule made up of two nitrogen atoms<\/i>) and of course oxygen.<\/p>\n The sun gives out white light which is composed of all the colours of the rainbow, and when its rays enter the atmosphere of the Earth, they collide with all of the elements that make it up.<\/p>\n The sunlight travels in both short and long waves and it\u2019s the ones which are shorter, and which there are more of, such as blue, violet and green, which hit against the water molecules giving the sky a blue colour.<\/p>\n In general, when we yawn the people who see it start to yawn too. It\u2019s contagious but we don\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n Yawning is actually caused by an increase of the brain\u2019s temperature. This happens when we\u2019re bored, tired, or when it\u2019s hot or we\u2019re ill.<\/p>\n And when these situations occur, our attention level sinks and yawning has a temperature regulating effect which allows us to return to full alertness.<\/p>\n So for your brain, yawning has the same effect as jumping into a nice cold pool in the middle of summer does for your body. Cool!!<\/p>\n All children are curious and (very!) often ask adults the question \u201cWhy?\u201d. They just want to understand why things are the way they are in life.
