Chan harmony with nature
Today, the world of children (especially for those in urban areas) is almost associated with tiring tutoring hours, relaxing hours with a television, computer or a practical play area. Increasingly, the phrase love of nature seems too foreign to children because they do not know the meaning of the two words nature. Therefore, parents need to add the responsibility of "bringing nature and love of nature" associated with their childhood through picnics and visits to the countryside.
Let children play freely on the lawns, clean sandy lands, let them touch the petals and grass tops by themselves, lead them to visit the green rice fields, let them watch the fluttering storks ... at the same time explain to children the function of things that they have been seeing and experiencing. This will stimulate the child's imagination and creativity as well as give the baby a chance to breathe fresh air to enhance the child's movement and physical development. This is the way for children to gradually form the concept of the two-word nature.
Do not force your child to stay away and scare them away from dangerous insects. Ideally, should only give children which animals should be in contact with and which should not, and at the same time should simply explain to the questions that children ask, such as: What does this child eat to live? Why does our family have so many children? Can you feed him rice? ...
In addition, let your children participate in gardening with their grandparents, brothers and sisters such as: growing flowers, growing cilantro ... this is the best and fastest way for children to integrate with nature because no child is not. Feeling excited to let hands and feet touch the ground, water, see firsthand insects fluttering on the ground… that's great for any kid.
