What are some of the lessons that children can learn from gardening?

I gardened a lot as a child and still do as an adult. These are the lessons I learned from it when I was little: Every living thing eventually gets too big for its container and needs to be moved into a bigger one. Every living thing dies.It is sad.

It is a part of life. Spending a few hours doing yard work will make your yard look one hundred percent better and will keep it looking better for several weeks.It is much easier to prevent weeds from growing or to pull them out when they are small than it is to wait until they are big to do something about them. The bigger a weed is, the harder it will be to pull out.

When your kids are very little, I would focus on the work involved. Even a preschooler can understand that if you fertilize a plant, pull away the weeds that grow around it and make sure it gets enough water, it will grow big and beautiful. As children grow older, gardening is a good way to teach them about ecosystems.

For example, if I let the weeds get too big, my plants will shrink as they are starved of the nutrients they need to grow. From greenthumbarticles. Com -quote Children will also learn that life has a cycle.

They will see that from seeds come flowers and that after those flowers bloom they will turn brown, wilt and then die. It’s a lesson we all learn in time but when you teach it with beautiful flowers, the lesson doesn’t seem quite so harsh. -endquote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
