In our house we actually have an informal "best question of the day" award which encourages us to share inquiries. It is intended to reinforce and reward curiosity and healthy attitudes to learning in children and seems to work. Other learning hacks: Complement questions. Admit when you don't know stuff, but then immediately look for answers, sharing your method and findings. Play scrabble with kids and allow arbitrary lookups to a permissive and multilingual dictionary such as wiktionary: a great way to learn amazing words, etymology and geography. Keep a globe around to reinforce geography while viewing documentaries or explaining things (eg. etymologies and language families). Keeping an HDMI output budget microscope connected to the TV for shared exploration of things (broken toys/circuitboards, botany, etc.). Gifting tools to children and encouraging their use to solve problems. http://earth.nullschool.net http://earth.nullschool.net when the weather changes. Bringing kids to work.
