Apparently, we can see how nature is treated these days. It is a sad thing to know that people do not pay attention so much anymore to the environmental problems. What can we do about this? It's as simple as starting with the children. It is good to see the children's involvement with environment-friendly activities. One such nature-loving activity that children could easily get their hands on is gardening. Why should you consider gardening for your children? Here are the benefits that gardening could easily provide the children with: 1. Science In planting, children are indirectly taught the wonders of science like the plant's life cycle and how human's intervention can break or make the environment. They can have a first hand experience on the miracle of life through a seed. This would definitely be a new and enjoyable experience for the kids. 2. Life Watching a seed grow into a tree is just as wondrous as the conception to birth and growth of a child. In time, kids will learn to love their plants and appreciate the life in them. Gardening could actually help simulate how life should be treated -- it should be with care. The necessities to live will be emphasized to kids with the help of gardening - water, sunlight, air, soil. Those necessities could easily be corresponded to human necessities, i.e., water, shelter, air, food. By simply weeding out, one could educate how bad influences should be avoided to be able to live life smoothly. 3. Relaxation Studies show that gardening can reduce stress because of its calming effect. This is applicable to any age group. More so, it stimulates all the five senses. Believe it or not, gardening may be used as therapy to children who have been abused or those who are members of broken homes. It helps build one's self-esteem.
You can forget about your stressful work life for a while be soothed by the lovely ambience in the garden. You can play and spend quality time with your children. You can talk while watering the plants or you can work quietly beside each other. The bottom line is, always do what you have to do, together with your kids. You might discover a lot of new things about your child while mingling with them in your garden. Let kids become aware of their environment's needs. And one way to jumpstart that environmental education may be through gardening. It's hitting two birds with one stone -- teach them to respect life while you bond with them.
=========================== author: (Jim Boxley) Consider the following questions when
deciding whether to replace or repair an appliance: 1. How old is the appliance? Rule of thumb: If a repair will cost more than half the cost of a new appliance, and the unit is more than six or seven years old, you should consider replacing it altogether. 2. What would a similar appliance cost? Some types of appliances have gone down in price over the past ten years. check on new=prices before putting a lot of money into an old unit. 3. Are there hidden costs? Removal? Installation? Disposal? Tax? These fees can quickly make a good deal much more expensive. If the appliance has Freon in it, the disposal of the Freon will be expensive. Be sure to check with your local waste disposal organization. 4. How difficult is it to replace the appliance? Is it built in? Even if it is built in, will you have to remove doors, railings, etc. in order to get the appliance out of the basement or other part of the house? 5. What energy savings will you get with the new appliance? Some appliances,
such as refrigerators, freezers, front-load washers and dishwashers,= 6. What additional features will you get with the new appliance? Some
features will give you greater flexibility and convenience and should
be added to the value of a new appliance. However, donot give value to
features you know you wont ever use. It might be nice that a washer= Also: Because 75% of the cost of repairing an appliance is in the labor and
related charges, and only 25% of the cost is in the parts, many people
can repair appliances themselves and save a significant amount of time,
money =
