This is certainly true. In the moment a parent might decide to go with the flow, or they may decide this is a great moment for bonding and learning what's on kiddo's mind.
By learning what a 3-year-old thinks and feels and has observed of the world, a parent may gently guide the child, including pointing out things a child might have missed, or interpreting observations in light of additional information.
Love, love, love hearing what my kiddos think and feel and have observed of the world. YMMV.
