Slake GRE Vocabulary Flashcard
/sleɪk/ (verb)
to quench or satisfy a desire or thirst, moderate, extinguish, assuage, relieve, satiate, calm down
Parents can do at least three things to encourage children’s curiosity. First, provide satisfying answers to their inquiries. Children’s questions are sensitive to the answers they receive. If you give them a satisfying answer and slake their curiosity, they will ask deeper or more refined questions. If a response is unsatisfying, they will continue asking the same question, but, over time, they might stop asking.
