Every day there are more initiatives aimed at raising awareness and creating an ecological mentality that takes care of nature and respects the environment around us. Especially they have to teach the little ones these values, they are the new generations that will have to live on this planet and will inherit the situation that we left them in inheritance.
It is very evident that the climate is changing, that pollution is noticeable in all parts of our planet, one of the ways to prevent these events from increasing and that in the future they can be reduced, is to teach children the importance of the environment in which we are.
Trying to make our children love nature is our task, achieving a harmonious relationship with the environment around them is one of the tasks we must perform. Around three years of age, a child begins to show curiosity, interest, desire to know everything that surrounds and fascinates him, this is the ideal time to start channeling our son about the proper way to act, with respect , with admiration, with passion. It is advisable to make different games that stimulate your desire to learn and know, in this way we will get them to approach nature directly, for this we must use weapons as powerful as touch, ear, sight, smell ... in summary , all his senses, because through them, the child deeply captures everything around him.
We could say a lot about what kind of activities are the most advisable, some examples would be to listen to the harmonious song of the birds in silence and ask the child what he hears or failing, if he still does not know it, explain the types of sound and ask what produces it. We can also contemplate the different leaves that we find in the park or forest floor, play with them using fantasy, painting them, using them in different manual activities, etc.
The basic rules for respecting the environment in small children are mandatory, do not destroy the flowers by stepping on them, do not disturb the animals they may find, do not litter, etc. An ideal place in the network to learn different types of games and how we should raise awareness among the little ones about nature, is the Greenpeace page. Who better if not this association that watches over nature to help us in this task.
