Raising an inquisitive child

徘徊于理性与现实的旷野里, 生存于东方与西方的交界面。

My 11 yo daughter is unusually inquisitive and seems a bit too mature for her age. She likes to read and thinks a lot. She raises plenty of questions. If you do not give assuring answers to her questions, she may become worried. For example, she asks what we should do if we run out of money and dad loses his job? Why do her dumber classmates get more weekly allowance without learning out-of-class lessons than she does with all weekend Chinese and math exercises included? Does it mean we are poor? It seems that raising a highly inquisitive child provides additional challenges for parents, as this kind of kids demand constant attention, assurance and intellectual inputs from their parents, testing the patience of their parents at the same time.

learned a new word here. 'inquisitive'.
looked up in dictionary.com but still can't put it in memory. I have to map the word in Chinese. so had to lookup a Chinese dictionary until I got the answer of 好奇的,好问的。用我的话说“好刨根问底”的。
