What are the benefits of encouraging children's curiosity in science and math?

Hey everyone!

I am a new member to Physics Forums and just wanted to say hello!

I am an undergrad physics major, my passion lies in astrophysics! Though I have a strong love of astrophysics, I am fond of many aspects of physics and science. I have been married for almost three years (Yayyy!) and my husband is super supportive of my academic pursuits! We also have an amazing baby boy who is super curious so we are strongly encouraging him from an early age to keep that curiosity and show him the beauty of science, math, and all other subjects. Children are natural born scientists after all, we plan to make sure his curiosity about the world around him is never diminished.

I am happy to be a part of this forum!

Welcome to PF!

Congratulations to you and your family and your passion for Astrophysics.

We try to maintain a quality site where students can ask questions about mainstream science and get meaningful answers.

I hope you enjoy the site.
