DD4 both loves princesses and fairtytales, magic and movies and also loves to know how and why stuff is the way it is. Recently in Disney, I realized not for the first time how I'll need to ride the line between fact and fiction. She asks me "Are the people on TV real?" Which led to "Is Elsa real?" which led to "Who is the real person that does Elsa's voice?" and then "So who's this person dressed up like Elsa that's not Indina?" (that we waited an hour to meet).
Specifics of exact religious belief aside, we're facing a similar issue with that topic. Being both scientific and spiritual to some extent, answering the questions about "why god made us that way" and I passed on my curly hair because of DNA is tricky to me. I think the answer can be both, but I want to provide scientific answers if I have them.
Is this making sense to anyone else, or is it just me struggling with this and their imaginative and magic-filled preschooler?
