Good question
And you are of course correct the child must interpret it for his/her self,
I think in my kids cases it was from their mother and I using it to query each other. Then querying them on subjects, I tried very hard not to use the
"because I said so" approach because as a kid I felt it a very unfair answer and, why, generally led to a blanket statement.
So my kids learned to understand why as a positive word and expect an honest answer.
I guess to me as a kid, why, had negative connotations as that was what I was taught, I'm glad my kids see it as the opposite.
