CONSULTATION FOR PARENTS
“Walks in nature are the basis of a child’s health”
For a child, a family is his place of birth and his main habitat. He has close people in his family who understand him and accept him for who he is - healthy or sick, kind or not so kind, flexible, he belongs there:
Loved you for no special reason
Because you are a grandson,
Because you are a son,
Because baby
Because you are growing,
Because he looks like mom and dad...
And this love until the end of your days
It will remain your secret support. /V. Berestov/
It is in the family that the child learns the basics about the world around him. Family -
The moral and psychological climate is for a child a school of relationships with people. It is in the family that the child’s ideas about good and evil are deposited. With loved ones, he experiences feelings of love, friendship, and duty. By its nature, family education is based on feeling. Feelings of love with all the harmony of the various nuances of its manifestation accompany the child in the family, from prenatal development to adulthood. This range of feelings has a beneficial effect on the development and upbringing of a child: it gives him a passing feeling of happiness, tenderness of existence, a sense of protection from external adversity, and in the person of parents - helpers, advisers, older friends. Moreover, the harmonious development of a child in a family is created by various manifestations of feelings of love among family members. Example - conversation with a two-year-old child:
Who are you to grandma?
Handsome, my favorite.
Grandfather? - Grandson.
Mothers? - Son.
It is from this feature of family upbringing that the definition of priority values of home, family follows... when “common sense” dictates otherwise, emphasis is placed:
And even with a Basque teapot, it’s not home yet.
When the evening darkness falls,
So this truth is clear and simple -
That the house is filled from palms to windows
Your warmth, your warmth.
All things were quietly dissolved by darkness,
And the room became free and empty.
And among this cosmic emptiness
My whole world is you, and my home is
But a house filled with goods is not yet a home.
And even with a chandelier above the table, it’s not yet a home.
And on the window with a living flower - it’s not home yet.
And even with a Basque teapot, it’s not home yet. /A.Suslova/
Family education continues throughout a person’s life, at any time of the day. The child experiences its beneficial influence even when outside the home: at school, on vacation. Children are very inquisitive. They ask a lot of questions: “What is it?”, “Why is it?”, “What is it?”, “Why?”. We must strive to answer all children’s questions seriously and in an accessible manner. There is no way to brush them off or put off the answer for later. These questions express a qualitatively new stage in the development of children and their thinking. Walks in nature are very effective for children's development.
At the first opportunity, at any time of the year, as long as the weather is bearable, go to a forest, park, field, or to the river to see the vast distances and fabulous piles of clouds. Take the gifts to the forest animals. Set up a dining room for them. Try to make a halt in the most secluded place. Freeze and hide. Maybe you will be lucky enough to see a squirrel, admire the work of a woodpecker, and chirping titmice. The joy of meeting living objects will remain in the memory of children for a long time, awakening inquisitiveness and kind feelings for nature. Try to discover for yourself and your children the beauty of the crimson colors of autumn, intertwined with golden threads, decorated with the dark green of pine trees. Take a deep breath in the smell of mushrooms, collect a collection of leaves of various shapes and colors, find twigs and snags that look like sculptures of animals and people. Don't forget to find a nondescript blade of grass. Look at her. Yes, she only seems ugly from afar. But in fact, it is elegant, beautiful, how delicate its leaves are, how subtle the transitions of colors are. Go out into the clearing with your child. Look how tempting the mysterious distance is, calling you into the depths of the forest. Pay attention to the perspective, the sky, the clouds. Think out loud, express your feelings. Let children see that communication with nature pleases and excites you, creates a good mood, and awakens dreams. If you have a garden, set aside an experimental bed for your child. Maybe someone has a corner - a garden bed at their summer cottage? Many families have a favorite flower. Know how to organize a small family celebration in honor of it on the day it blooms or first appears in your home. Teach your child to give flowers to people. This way you develop the ability to love sublimely.
The amazing world of nature... It greets the child with a sea of sounds, smells, hundreds of riddles and secrets, makes him look, listen, and think. Tender and aching memories remain in the hearts of each of us since childhood: a narrow path in a forest, permeated with a special light, filled with sounds and smells; a quiet pond with green banks and blue reflection of the sky; a golden field of wheat on a hot summer day; a tiny box filled to the top with strawberries... These memorable pictures warm the heart in adulthood, connecting with thin invisible threads to childhood, where there was so much light and beauty. And if none of this had happened, and you had never wandered through silken grasses, never seen the colorful meadows, never looked into forest lakes - mirrors, never heard nightingale trills, because childhood was fenced off from living nature by the indifferent attitude of adults towards it, the lack of living space?
Man is a part of nature, without interaction with which his life cannot be complete. Thanks to nature, the developing organism gradually accumulates health and strength. The world of movements and the world of nature, when united, become a powerful means of all-round development of the child in conditions of psychological comfort. It is necessary for adults to organize walks and hikes with children in order to deeply understand the world around them. Each trip should become an emotionally significant event in the lives of children, so it is necessary to carefully select diverse, interesting travel routes that provide close communication with nature.
Nature is full of extraordinary wonders. It never repeats itself, so children should be taught to look for and find something new in what is already known. Introducing a child to independent feasible work, his acquaintance with the work of adults is the most important means of forming the moral foundations of the child’s personality, its humanistic orientation, and strong-willed qualities. Direct communication with living nature gives the child more vivid ideas than books and pictures. Therefore, already in early age groups, conditions are created for children’s daily communication with nature, nature corners are organized where children have the opportunity to observe.
“Ecological education of children in the family”
Ecology is a science, and it comes from the word oikas - house, dwelling, habitat. This is all the living things that surround us, we breathe what we live. A new direction of education appeared in their preschool pedagogy - environmental education.
From the first years of life, children formulate the beginning of an ecological culture. Children see at home how their mother takes care of flowers, a cat or dog. They themselves are drawn to all living things, they want to stroke the animal and admire the beautiful flowers.
Growing up, children learn that every creature has its own “home”, which contains everything for its life. Environmental education is what it is knowledge of living things that surround the child in their habitat, and our The main task is to teach them to protect and take care of what they see. You need to clearly explain to your child that breaking a tree branch is prohibited, especially in winter. Draw the child’s attention to the beauty, how beautiful they are in the frost. In winter they sleep and they have only us as protectors.
We need to cover the roots with snow, explaining that we are helping them survive in winter. When visiting the forest with children in winter, pay attention to the silence in the forest, its beauty and how good it is to breathe in the forest.
In spring, nature transforms, and we rejoice at every new blade of grass and a new leaf. Work at the dacha begins and the children help you, albeit very little, but they are drawn to it, seeing how you do it. There is a forest near the dacha areas; you go there with your children. We are all reaching out to nature to relax, breathe fresh air, listen to the murmur stream. We adults collect flowers and medicinal herbs, pick only as much as you need, and try not to pull up the roots.
When picking mushrooms and berries in the forest, take only those that you know, and don't touch others. Animals need them, they feed on them and are treated with them. Like, for example, the fly agaric mushroom, it’s so beautiful, admire it, but don’t touch it him, the elk will come and he will need it for treatment. To prevent mushrooms from disappearing near our forest, do not disturb the mycelium, explain to the children that mushrooms need cut with a knife, a new mushroom will grow here.
Children often act cruelly to nature and we are to blame for all this adults. They couldn’t teach us to see the beautiful and make sure that everything that surrounds us only makes us happy.
Feed the birds, hang a feeder outside the window or on the balcony. The child will put the food there himself. If you want to please your child, get him a parrot or a goldfinch, a turtle or a hamster. Explain and teach how Take proper care of them and the child will be happy. Many children have the dream is to have a friend nearby, this is a kitten or a puppy. And if you got yourself the animal is at home, do not throw them out into the street when they grow up, they are animals trust people. I wish you to cultivate a sense of compassion in children, teach them to see the beauty of the world around them and this will not pass for nothing. If a child treats everything with care and takes care of this “home” - your education will not be in vain. They will be attentive not only to the world around them, but also to you adults.
At the end of my message I would like to offer my favorite poem by V. Orlov.

Consultation for parents on environmental education of children
preschool age on the topic:
"Cultivating a love for nature"
A man became a man when he heard the whisper of leaves and a song
grasshopper, the murmur of a spring stream and the ringing of silver bells in
bottomless summer sky, the rustling of snowflakes and the howling of a blizzard outside the window,
the gentle splash of the wave and the solemn silence of the night - I heard, and, holding back
breathing, listens to the wonderful music of life for hundreds and thousands of years.
V. A. Sukhomlinsky.
Environmental education is currently regarded as a priority direction in the restructuring of preschool education. At preschool age, the formation of a consciously correct attitude towards natural objects begins. Correct understanding is based on knowledge of the peculiarities of life of living beings, their interaction
with the habitat. A conscious attitude is manifested in a variety of environmental activities. Therefore, work on the formation of an ecological culture should begin from preschool age, when the basic ways of understanding the surrounding reality are laid down and a value-based attitude towards it develops.
It is at the stage of preschool childhood that the child receives emotional impressions of nature, accumulates ideas about different forms of life, i.e. he develops the fundamental principles of ecological thinking and consciousness, and lays down the elements of ecological culture. But this only happens if the adults raising the child themselves have an ecological culture: they understand the problems common to all people and are concerned about them, show the little person
the beautiful world of nature, help to establish relationships with it. At preschool age, the child begins to distinguish himself from the environment, an emotional and value-based attitude to the world around him develops, and the foundations of the moral and ecological positions of the individual are formed. Thanks to this, it is possible for children to develop environmental knowledge, norms and rules for interacting with nature, develop empathy for it, and be active in solving some environmental problems.
Kindergarten is the first link in the system of continuous environmental education.
Environmental education is carried out in kindergarten through the entire pedagogical process - in everyday life and in the classroom. In implementing the tasks of environmental education, the natural environment in kindergarten is of great importance. These are corners of nature in all groups, a properly designed and equipped area that provides the opportunity for constant direct communication with nature, the organization of systematic observations of natural phenomena and objects, and the introduction of children to regular work. You can create a special platform on the site
nature, a natural corner with plants, outline an ecological trail,
make a stream and much more.
A feature of environmental education is the great importance of a positive example in the behavior of adults. Therefore, educators not only take this into account themselves, but also pay significant attention to working with parents. Here it is necessary to achieve complete mutual understanding. Parents must realize that they cannot demand that their child follow any rule of behavior if adults themselves do not always follow it. For example, it is difficult to explain to children that they need to protect nature if the parents do not do this themselves. And the different demands made in kindergarten and at home can cause them confusion, resentment, or even aggression. However, what is possible at home does not necessarily have to be allowed in kindergarten and vice versa. It is necessary to highlight the main things that will require joint efforts from teachers and parents. Need to consider
and discuss the results obtained and make a joint decision on the final list of vital rules and prohibitions. It is possible to instill in children a positive attitude towards nature only when the parents themselves have an environmental culture. The effect of raising children is largely due to the extent to which environmental values are perceived by adults as vital. A noticeable influence on the upbringing of a child is exerted by the way, level, quality and style of life of the family. Children are very sensitive to what they see around them. They behave like the adults around them. Parents need to realize this. Parents can interest their child in a variety of ways. For example, growing house plants. In addition, in order for the children to water them in a timely manner, their interest in the growth and development of plants, the appearance of new sprouts, flowers, and fruits should be encouraged in every possible way. The most suitable for this are fast-growing plants such as geranium or begonia, indoor crops of tomatoes and cucumbers. Responsibility is an important human quality. And it is this that we will develop, trusting the little one with the life of green pets. You can also try growing oranges or lemons, pineapples or pears. Plant fruit seeds in the ground and see what happens. Well, isn’t it a miracle: to grow a real tropical plant on the windowsill and enjoy its fruits?
The artistic and creative activities of children are also of great importance. Modeling from clay, plasticine, all types of applications, design using cereals, dough and natural materials, drawing using plant elements - all this helps to foster a love of nature in preschoolers. The desire to do
more beautiful, has a better effect on the world of feelings, allows you to unleash creative potential, increases the level of speech development in preschoolers, children learn to create, learn to understand and see the beauty and richness of nature.
In preschool age, the child’s imagination rapidly develops, which manifests itself especially clearly in play and in the perception of works of art. Parents often forget that the most accessible, most enjoyable and most useful of all pleasures for a child is when interesting books are read aloud to him. This must start in the family. Interest in the book arises long before the start of school and develops very easily. The book plays an important role in the aesthetic education of children. A lot depends on what this first book will be like. It is very important that the books that a child gets acquainted with are accessible to the young reader not only in terms of subject matter and content, but also in the form of presentation. The specificity of literature makes it possible to form a love of nature based on the content of works of art. The works of such writers as V. Bianki, M. Prishvin, K. I. Chukovsky, S. Ya. Marshak, A. L. Barto, S. Mikhalkov and others are suitable for children. The book for children contains a lot of interesting, beautiful, mysterious, because they really want to learn to read, and until they have learned, listen to their elders read.
Nature offers extremely great opportunities for educating preschool children. Excursions, hikes, walks, studying works of art dedicated to nature are traditional activities in this direction. However, just being among nature is not enough. You must be able to see the beauty of nature and experience it emotionally. This ability develops gradually. During walks, hikes, and work in the garden, it is necessary to draw children’s attention to the richness of nature, the perfection and harmony of its forms, to cultivate the need not only to admire nature, but also to treat it with care. If a child understands that his well-being, tomorrow, the happiness of himself, his family and friends depend on the purity of air and water, concrete help to the stream and the birch tree, he will join the ranks of defenders and friends of nature.
So, instilling in children a love for nature and the ability to perceive its beauty is one of the important tasks of a kindergarten. In this work, his first assistants should be his parents. At the first opportunity, at any time of the year, if the weather permits, go to a forest, park, field, or river to see the vast distances and fabulous piles of clouds. Take the gifts to the forest animals. Try to make a halt in the most secluded place. Freeze and hide. Maybe you will be lucky enough to see a squirrel or admire the work of a woodpecker. The joy of meeting living creatures will remain in the memory of children for a long time, awakening inquisitiveness and kind feelings towards nature. Try to discover for yourself and your children the beauty of the crimson colors of autumn, intertwined with golden threads, decorated with the dark green of pine trees. Take a deep breath in the smell of mushrooms, collect a collection of leaves of various shapes and colors, find twigs and snags that look like sculptures of animals and people. Go out into the clearing with your child. Look how tempting the mysterious distance is, calling you deep into the forest. If you have a garden, buy your child gardening tools and allocate some for your child.

Dear parents! Foster in children love and respect for plants and animals, teach them to behave correctly in the forest, field, and near water bodies. Tell us how noise has a detrimental effect on the inhabitants of the forest. Because of the noise, birds abandon their nests, and forest animals run away from the forest. Therefore, in the forest, and in nature in general, it is necessary to maintain silence. Tell children about the danger of fires, and that they should not damage trees, destroy nests, extract birch sap, litter water bodies, destroy anthills and much more.
At preschool age, children must LEARN and KNOW that:
It is necessary to protect and preserve both useful and common plant species,
animals.
Remember that plants provide shelter for animals.
We must behave carefully in nature.
Remember that forests, rivers and reservoirs are home to permanent residents (birds, fish, animals, insects), for whom this environment is their home!
We must take care of the land, water, and air, since this is the environment where all living things exist.
You cannot pollute water bodies or light fires on their banks.
Environmental education of children is, first of all, the education of humanity, i.e. kindness, a responsible attitude towards nature, and towards the people who live nearby, towards descendants who need to leave the Earth suitable for a full life. Environmental education should teach children to understand themselves and everything that happens around them. We need to teach children how to behave correctly in nature and among people.
Dear parents! Environmental education will be more effective only if there is constant, daily communication between adults and children in the family. Don’t waste your time on playing with pets, on botanical experiments, on reading good poems and stories about nature, on walks. And then your children, even in adulthood, will consciously and carefully treat everything living and nonliving on Earth!
“The family is the primary environment where a person
must learn to do good.”
Sukhomlinsky V. A.
Nowadays, I think everyone already understands the importance of environmental education of children. We all know the sad consequences of industrial and economic development. The development of civilization brings with it factors that contribute to catastrophic consequences for all humanity. Unfortunately, many consequences have already become irreversible.
As paradoxical as it may sound, saving the earth from complete depletion of all its resources largely depends on you and me, ordinary people. Environmental care starts with basic human concepts such as; garbage collection, careful handling of fire, cleaning of water bodies, respect for wildlife, etc. Of course, this is the little that any person is capable of. But there is also something more.
The fact is that the future is in our hands. The future we create today is our children. What you and I can put into their thinking, into their way of life, into their position in life will determine how the child, already at a conscious age, will relate to the world around him. That is why I consider it my most important task to consider the topic of environmental education of preschool children in the family in more detail. Today, family upbringing priorities are placed on more down-to-earth positions. From the cradle, children choose a prestigious profession, are taught how to handle money correctly, and develop an aggressive attitude towards problematic life situations.
It’s good if parents teach how to throw garbage in special containers and not break branches on trees, but this is not enough for the child to fully realize his contribution to the future of the environment.
So, I would like to highlight three main tasks of the family for the full environmental education of a preschooler:
1.Development of positive moral qualities that encourage children to comply with norms of behavior in nature and society.
This is exactly what I talked about earlier: the basic rules of human behavior in society; a clear understanding of the fact that one must not litter, harm wildlife, offend animals, conserve natural resources, etc. Of course, here parents should be a daily example for their children, they should show maximum attention, first of all, to their actions and actions, because the child learns to live, first of all, by adopting the rules of behavior from his parents. Instilling elementary moral qualities in adults is, of course, an absolutely useless exercise. But every parent should think about the undesirable behavior of their child and its consequences, which means that sometimes they should reconsider their own behavior and improve it, asking themselves the question of how this will affect my child’s worldview.
2. Education of ethical and aesthetic feelings.
Everything here is quite elementary: to cherish means to love. To admire the beauty of nature, appreciate its diversity, be grateful to its gifts, only a family can teach all this. This is especially true for children growing up in big cities. Today, going out into the countryside for picnics on weekends is considered quite common, and here, it would seem, processes of unity with nature and the cultivation of an ecological culture should take place. But at such moments, do people notice the beauty around them, its pristine nature, how do they feel about this wealth? Here it is the responsibility of parents not only to be attentive and grateful to nature for that atmosphere of absolute peace and surrounding beauty, but also to convey this understanding to their children. A child should grow up with the feeling that nature is a large intelligent being, and there are no trifles in it, every blade of grass, every insect deserves careful treatment, because it is part of nature. It is important to convey to the child how interconnected and harmonious everything is in nature. How do ants cohesively organize their existence, and with what effort do they create their anthills; how defenseless butterflies are, delighting us with their diversity and beauty; how fragile and important trees are to people, helping to clean the air we breathe. There are so many amazing and beautiful phenomena in nature; it gives people so many benefits free of charge, which, unfortunately, we are accustomed to taking for granted and often do not appreciate this gift.
3.Formation of cognitive and creative needs.
It is necessary not only to appreciate and protect all the versatility and generosity of nature, it is equally important to form in the child’s mind a desire to benefit nature, to repay it with a reciprocal desire to create. After all, we are talking about our future, in which many environmental problems need to be solved. Who will be those who will deal with the issues of environmental salvation of our earth in tens of years? These will be our children. They need this from birth, all that is required of you and me is to support and guide them in the right direction. After all, there is nothing easier to introduce a child to a reverent attitude towards the world around him, to the creation of beauty, plant a tree or flower with him - and the child will understand that he himself is the creator of nature, pick up the garbage lying on the ground and throw it into the trash container with him - and your child will draw the right conclusion about the human relationship to nature, make a bird feeder together with your child - and he will learn compassion. With your help, the child must clearly understand that a lot depends on his attitude towards nature.
To help parents achieve their goals, there are currently many auxiliary materials and information technologies available. These are books, articles, websites, educational films and cartoons. However, it is important to note that theoretical knowledge can never replace practical actions. Only through the process of specific actions can one truly understand the importance and significance of each person in improving the environmental situation in the world.
It is certainly important that the child is constantly in contact with living nature, trying and learning everything on his own or together with his parents. This can be practiced during family trips to the forest, to bodies of water, or picking mushrooms and berries. However, the goal here should not be the desire to collect as many mushrooms as possible, but to see and learn something new. It is very important at such moments to talk with the child, to draw his attention to natural phenomena, animal behavior, and seasonal changes. Urban nature also requires special attention, and here it is important to understand that discoveries await the child at every step - on the way to kindergarten, near home and when traveling to the store. And again, parents must clearly understand that you are your child’s main source of information about everything that surrounds him. Parents often underestimate their importance in shaping a child’s holistic perception of the world, but don’t forget that children see the world completely differently, don’t brush off their, as you sometimes think, stupid questions, because this is how a child learns about the world.
The most important element of a child’s environmental education is a green corner in your home. Living plants and flowers contribute to the correct formation of environmental consciousness in a child. Caring for house plants certainly fosters the qualities necessary for the development of a child’s caring attitude towards nature as a whole. No less important, of course, is keeping pets, which are completely dependent on their owners. This awareness will certainly only contribute to the development of moral and ethical qualities in the child. You should not deprive your children of such elementary ways of unity with nature.
In order for a child to fall in love with nature, begin to respect it and treat it with care, not much is needed, because he is a part of it himself. Everything necessary is already inherent in every person from birth. It is important for us, adults, not to lose this feeling ourselves and not to ruin it in our children. Then we will raise a worthy generation that will preserve the world around us with all its beauty and richness.
CONSULTATION FOR PARENTS OF PRE-RECEIVERS
ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
Teacher of the highest qualification
The upbringing of the younger generation, its education - these issues cannot but worry every adult, and especially those who are responsible for children and their fate, starting from preschool age.
A child is a ray that shines subtly,
But there is immortality in it, the light of ideas.
And kindergarten is for the child,
What a lot for people.
And every year, every milestone
Don't call your children strangers -
After all, these are the children of man,
You are a person, they are yours!
Yours!..
You can't stay away from them
The whole meaning of life is
In their destiny.
And the thoughtless voice of a child
It calls to me and to you.
Formation of ecological culture of preschool children
That humanity has no future unless it changes its attitude towards the environment is a generally accepted fact. Much is being done now to avert environmental catastrophe. Even the threat of nuclear war faded into the background. The focus is on our nature and man’s attitude towards it!
In the 21st century, the children we are raising today will live, plan and manage the national economy of the country, and build a happy life. And we must instill in them a respectful attitude towards all life on Earth. It turns out that the division of animals into “useful” and “harmful”, which occurs in existing methods, contradicts modern scientific views on nature and interferes with the cultivation of a caring attitude towards it.
And kids are known to show increased interest in the environment. But due to the lack of purposeful and unified work of kindergartens, families and the public, many 6-year-old and even 5-year-old children develop a negative attitude towards some of its objects - mostly insects and amphibians, which leads to incorrect actions by children. They consider them “harmful”, unnecessary, without understanding their significance either for humans or for the environment.
In nature, everything is interconnected. Parents should help children understand that all living things need food, which they spend a lot of time searching for. Help with leading questions: “Why do butterflies fly over flowers? What are birds and ants looking for in the grass? Tell us what different animals eat. Preschoolers can also understand the feedback relationship between prey and predator (ants, by feeding on other insects, save plants, and the eaten insects themselves from excessive reproduction, which will inevitably lead to their death from lack of food).
Initial ecological ideas become a regulator of children's behavior in nature, helping to foresee the possible negative consequences of wrong actions - a callous attitude towards plants and animals, pollution of inanimate objects. On a walk in nature, unfortunately, we often see damaged trees, bushes, trampled grass, and dead animals.
We kindly request you, fellow adults!
Don’t pass by in silence, evaluate it all, using the mobilizing power of pity and sympathy. It is very important to influence the child’s feelings, make him want to help the plants, and prevent damage to others. When showing a tree with a broken branch or trampled grass, compare it with objects in excellent condition, together with the child, determine their living conditions, ask them to imagine what would happen if there was a lot of damage - i.e. focus on the significance of these objects for everything alive. In the process of observing nature, convince your child that where there are no trees, birds, butterflies and bees do not fly, even grass does not grow in trampled places, damaged plants develop poorly and get sick. Such figurative characteristics will play an important role in the formation of environmental motives and in regulating the child’s behavior in nature. It is better to formulate these rules not in a negative form (“do not tear, do not break, do not trample”), but in a positive form (help, care, protect).
It is important to create emotional contact with nature: let the child wander on his own, look for something unusual, sit quietly on a hillock, listen to the singing of birds or the murmur of a stream, or simply look around him.
Dear parents!
Foster in children love and respect for plants and animals, teach them to behave correctly in the forest, field, and near water bodies. Tell us how noise has a detrimental effect on the inhabitants of the forest. Because of the noise, birds abandon their nests, and forest animals run away from the forest. Therefore, in the forest, and in nature in general, it is necessary to maintain silence. Tell children about the dangers of fires and that they should not damage trees, destroy nests, extract birch sap, litter floodplains and reservoirs with broken glass, destroy anthills, and much more.
Already at preschool age, children must LEARN and KNOW:
- it is necessary to protect and preserve useful species of plants, animals,
- you must behave carefully in nature, remember that in the forest, in the floodplains, in the river there live permanent residents (birds, fish, animals, insects), for whom this environment is their home! Therefore, you cannot destroy it, spoil plants, collect flowers, litter, make noise; you cannot take living beings from their habitat;
- we must take care of the earth, water, air, since this is the environment where all living things exist. You need to take care of the land, feed it, because you can’t just take from it and not give it anything;
- water should be used sparingly, because plants, animals, and people need it. You cannot pollute water bodies or light fires on their banks.
And one more piece of advice: consolidate all your knowledge in everyday life, using questions and situations that our lives are so rich in.
For example:
. Vova and her mother went to the floodplain to pick mushrooms. “Mom, mom, look, the bird is flying so low that I can catch it. Let her live at our house." “No, you can’t do that,” my mother answered. Why did she answer Vova like that?
. Seryozha with mom and dad went to the river. Many small fish swam close, near the shore. “Give me a jar, I’ll catch some fish,” Seryozha asked his parents. “You can’t catch them,” dad said and explained why. What dad told Seryozha
