Teaching your children to think for themselves? We’ll have none of that here!

Good for you. Socratic method.

I think they're both smarter than me because of it. But it was easier to use the built-in curiosity of a kid (the imfamous repeated WHY) to drive them to learn things than to just feed them whatever answer was available, or not at all. That's the worse thing a parent can do is shut down a kid's craving for answers.
