Empower your child. Your son will ask great questions. Many of them you will not be able to answer. Tell him you don’t know and you’ll try to research the question. If you are still unable to answer, tell him the two of you will ask a rabbi.

The fact that you think his questions are important enough to research validates him as a thinker. This will give him a tremendous jolt of self-confidence as well as greater motivation to build this learning relationship with you.
