| Maiden Mother Nature |
It is rightly said that we dont inherit the Earth from our ancestors ,we borrow it from our children.Nature is an asset to be used by our future generations and this legacy is to be sustained for generations to come.We have no right to exhaust all natural resources ourselves.We have to secure it for our children.
The first teachers of a child are his parents and children follow habits of their parents naturally.So whatever they are taught in early stage is imprinted in their brain and they never forget those.Early years of a kid are best for learning so if they are taught to appreciate and love nature this will get instilled in their minds.This can be achieved if parents become rolemodel for their child.Some very little habits like turning the tap off while brushing,turning off the lights when not in use,not wasting paper etc are very easy to teach them .
Nowadays children prefer to stay before electronic gadgets for long hours and are cut off from nature.
They should not be allowed to be confined to concrete structures.It is the duty of parents to make them familiar with bountiful benefits of nature.Family picnics should be arranged in groups at regular intervals so that children play in laps of nature and can enjoy in company of nature.In this way they will become eco-concious and will becomes stewards for environment.
Conservation of nature is other very important concern .We as parents can be best guides for them.Every year on Earth Day lights are kept off for some hours to save energy.Children should be given topics to write upon energy and that why it is important to save energy.They should observe every day as Earth day.
Parents can tell their kids not to waste paper and should emphasize on e- green initiative.Kids should have habits of using alternates of paper bags.They should be encouraged for recycling of products and about waste management.
On birthday of our kids we should arrange birthday parties in a park and every host child should be encouraged to plant sapling.Seeds should be distributed among them and for those who implant maximum number of seeds a special gift should be arranged.They should be told the ill effects of cutting trees and poor results of imbalanced ecological balance.
School is the next place of learning.Nowadays schools are very particular about Save earth Mission.Environmental science,Natural Science and gardening are the subjects being taught at primitive stage of schooling.
Some subjects like painting,games,gardening can be best taught in natural environment.Competition should be held and children should be asked to portay natural scenes.This will take them closer to nature and they will fall in love with natural objects.They will be their own teachers and would develop the habit of conservation of nature and natural objects on their own.
The minds of kids are clean slates.We can write over it whatever we think best for them.So it is prime duty of parents to make children learn hoe to save their surroundings and how can they conserve it for future generations.Earth is our first mother and our life supporter.So our duty becomes to serve it,We are bound to use its resources in judicial ways so that future generations dont have to starve .Every one has right over it.So we alongwith our children should be guardian of nature.
