Teaching children new things is important especially when you want them to understand the values that are important to you. These values include integrity, ingenuity, and an appreciation for the things in life that we consider beautiful or worth expending our energy, time, and effort on. One of those things that many of us love sharing with our children is our love of gardening! Whether you are creating a spectacular garden worthy of fame or a simple garden that will hold pretty flowers and vegetables, there are many lessons that your children can learn from working in the garden. Continue reading to learn about the 3 values children can learn when gardening!
1. Life Works In Cycles
2. Hard Work Pays Off
The next lesson that gardening teaches children is that persistent effort often pays out with delightful results! Whether their gardening efforts yielded sweet peppers or pretty flowers, there is often a desired result that is achieved through gardening. If you really want to capture your children’s attention when it comes to gardening, choose a fast-growing plant for their first gardening experience. The ability to see the fruits of their labour quickly appear is often one of the greatest gifts we can give our children!
3. Learning New Things Can Be Fun
When planning a summer garden with children you need to consider certain things like their pint-sized hands and sponge-like minds. Kids soak up every ounce of information we provide them at an alarming rate! Be careful that you are not teaching them incorrect logic when it comes to gardening and growing beautiful summer plants. More importantly, you should make a concerted effort to ensure that you are teaching your children the positive aspects of gardening, so that this becomes an activity they look for with enjoyment rather than approaching with dread.
When gardening with children, there are many lessons that you can teach your children along the way. Science, math, and meteorology all have roles in gardening, but you should also be on the lookout for the valuable lessons that your children can teach you about gardening and life in general when you take them out to work with you in your summer garden!
