Your Guide to Fashion and Beauty

Gardening can be fun and educational experience for your children if you know how to get them interested. As kids love to play with other kids or with toys, they may find gardening a little boring as compared to going to the arcade, play ground or spending hours with their play station.

Children are naturally curious and you should know how to use that at your advantage to get them into helping you maintain a garden. If your child is aged two to seven, you will find it easy to amuse them about butterflies, bugs, ants and other living things you can find in the garden. Explore things with them. Let them touch and feel and smell the differences between the varieties of plants. Let them ask questions about the things they don’t understand and be sure to answer them as truthfully as you can. Don’t tell your child that he can take an earthworm as a pet and expect it to be a butterfly soon.

Especially, do not scare your child. There are insects that may be frightening to them as it is in the human nature to fear what we do not know or what we do not understand. A good explanation will lessen this fear. Explain how spiders use their eight eyes and legs or how dragonflies lay their eggs in the water. Do not pretend that you know everything and invent answers to his questions. If you don’t know the answer, admit it and encourage him to help you find the answers in the books or in the internet.
