Mother Nature Teaches Responsibility
Another vital characteristic that you want your children to build is responsibility. It seems that this is more difficult than you might imagine, especially when they start to grow older. Sometimes you might feel like you’re pulling out your hair and wondering if they understand you or hear what you’re saying. Don’t worry. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. One trick that you can use to make your job a little easier is to send your children outside and let Mother Nature help your children to learn responsibility. In nature, kids can learn responsibility through trial and error.
You can do this by asking your children to help take care of watering the plants and maintaining the garden. If you have any animals, children can help take care of them as well. Children should learn about nature because if you don’t take care of what’s in it, things will die. Plants and animals alike need to be taken care of and nurtured responsibly to survive. One way your child can learn this fact is by taking out the roots of a flower. This way, they can understand that the flower dies due to a lack of nutrients it needs to survive.
