Spinning under me.

"Cultivating Kindness to Nature"
(round table with parents of preschoolers)
“Teach your child to feel and
then understand that it’s good
then it is good when from him
people don’t cry,” wrote V.A. Sukhomlinsky.
Kindness makes a person well-mannered.
The child is naturally kind. Child cruelty, which we sometimes observe in children, is not a typical phenomenon, but most likely a pathology, or a child’s lack of understanding of what hurts. How often do children simply break branches, causing “pain” to the tree, and do not think about the fact that they are hurting it. How often do children throw stones into a pond or river, and no one stops them? They pollute the water, but many different living creatures live in the reservoir.
Yes, goodness must be taught.
Nurturing kindness is associated with awakening in a child compassion, empathy in grief, misfortune and the ability to rejoice and empathize with the success of another as if it were your own. The child should come to this not through reproach or fear of punishment, but through strengthening his sense of self-worth as he grows up. An effective, sincere manifestation of an adult’s love for a child encourages him to show good feelings in communicating with others - this is an important condition for nurturing kindness. Communication with nature awakens in a child kindness, responsiveness, and a sense of responsibility for other life, for example, for the life of animals and plants. Isn’t that why we are delighted and touched by sunrises and sunsets, pebbles on the seashore, beautiful birch trees, and in all this we unconsciously feel something familiar? What is beautiful in nature means what is loved for a person. My favorite means dear. And the beloved, the dear, must be protected and protected.
The ABC of kindness is learned by a child every day through his thoughts, feelings, deeds and actions.
With the help of the natural environment, adults have the opportunity to comprehensively develop a child: expanding his horizons, showing relationships in nature, involving children in joint activities, giving feasible assignments, encouraging the child to sympathize, empathize, and cultivating a desire to help with deeds.
From nature we learn a sense of beauty, a sense of proportion, goodness, and justice.
But how to introduce a child to his native nature? How to develop his cognitive interest in her, cultivate love and caring attitude? What do you think, dear parents? How do you yourself develop a cognitive interest in nature in your children, how do you instill a love for nature in your children in your family? (Answers from parents..)
Bottom line: No matter how many conversations we have with children about nature, about caring for it, we will not achieve the desired result until we take the child out into nature, until we ourselves set an example of a careful and caring attitude towards it.
Memo for parents and children on environmental education
Remember the rules!
Plant protection.
When in nature, you should not pick plants for bouquets. Bouquets can be made from plants grown by humans.
The remarkable wealth of nature is medicinal plants. People often collect them and donate them to pharmacies. This is important work, but it must be done in such a way as not to harm nature.
Some types of medicinal plants have already become rare due to excessive collection. These are primrose, valerian, club moss. They cannot be collected at all. It is best to harvest plantain. Shepherd's purse, tansy, yarrow, bird buckwheat.
You can collect medicinal plants only in places where there are many of them. Often plants must be left in nature.
It happens that people destroy them without even picking plants. The reason for this is trampling. A man walks through the forest and does not notice how fragile grasses are broken and trampled into the ground under his feet. In addition, the soil under people's feet becomes compacted. In such soil there is little air and water left, and plants cannot live on it; they die.
In nature, especially in the forest, you need to try to walk along paths so that the plants do not die from trampling.
A lot of work is being done to protect plants in our country. Rare plants are prohibited from collecting. They are under special protection in nature reserves. Many rare plants from all over the world are grown in botanical gardens.
Of course, it is necessary to protect not only rare plants, but also other, even the most common plants. Everyone must follow the rules of behavior in nature, plant more plants in cities and villages.
We must not forget that in nature everything is interconnected. Therefore, plant protection helps combat air and water pollution, protect pollinating insects, predatory insects, and protect birds.
Animal protection.
Do not go close to bird nests. Following your tracks, predators can find and destroy your nests. If you accidentally find yourself near the nest, do not touch it, leave immediately. Otherwise, the parent birds may leave the nest completely.
If you have a dog, do not take it with you into the forest in spring and early summer. She can easily catch flightless chicks and helpless baby animals.
Do not catch and take home healthy bird chicks and young animals. In nature, adult animals will take care of them.
Be sure to feed the birds in winter. And in the spring, with the help of your elders, make houses and birdhouses for them. Animals are connected to each other in a food chain. Therefore, by protecting some animals, you often help others. If frogs are protected, for example, there will be more herons that feed on the frogs.
Animals are also related to plants. If, for example, you collect bouquets in a forest or meadow, there will be fewer bumblebees and butterflies, which need flower nectar for nutrition.
DON'T FORGET that plants provide shelter for animals. Protect the grass, bushes, trees, you help the animals, birds, insects that take refuge in their thickets.
THE WEALTH OF THE NATIVE LANDS IS IN MAN’S HANDS.
REMEMBER THIS!
Consultation for parents
“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 a dog. They themselves are drawn to all living things, they want to pet 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 the knowledge of living things that surround a child in their habitat, and our 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 the winter. When you are in the forest with your children in winter, pay attention to the silence in the forest, its beauty and how well you can breathe in the forest.
In spring, nature transforms, and we rejoice at every new blade of grass and 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 drawn to nature to relax, breathe fresh air, listen to the babbling of a stream. We adults collect flowers and medicinal herbs, pick only as much as you need, and try not to tear up the roots.
When picking mushrooms and berries in the forest, take only those that you know, and leave others alone. 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, the elk will come and use it for treatment. To prevent mushrooms from disappearing from our forest, do not disturb the mycelium, explain to children that mushrooms need to be cut with a knife, a new mushroom will grow here.
Children often act cruelly to nature and we adults are to blame for all this. 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 to properly care for them and the child will be happy. Many children have a dream to have a friend nearby, this is a kitten or puppy. And if you get yourself an animal at home, do not throw them out into the street when they grow up, they are animals and 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 be in vain. If a child treats everything with care and takes care of this “home”, your upbringing will not be in vain. They will be attentive not only to the world around them, but also to you adults.
In order to implement the project "Our friend is nature” in January 2017, a survey of parents (legal representatives) of children was held in kindergarten on the topic:"Environmental education in the family."

3. It is necessary to familiarize parents with the work of preschool educational institutions on environmental education of children (directly open - educational activities, research projects).
Environmental education of the younger generation is one of the important problems of modern society. We often think about the environmental situation on earth, during classes we instill in students a caring attitude towards nature, but we do not think about how the parents of our students relate to environmental problems. A questionnaire for parents on ecology will help deal with this problem.
