I feel that the characteristics fit my 7-year-old because she does ask A
LOT of questions. Even after I answer them, she asks questions about
that as well so it was an ongoing question and answer dialogue. She is
also curious about everything such as how they work, how they
are/were created, the meaning of everything, etc. She is very
interested in watching science videos, DIY videos, and anything that
would be useful for daily use or how to make alternatives if
shorthanded on materials.
