Introducing Children to Nature

Everybody needs a loving care, even nature! We need to preserve our natural resources such plants, trees, environment, etc. Introducing children to nature is important thing because today technology comes first, we give the nicest gadget and the result is dillema comes after - for every modern parents. Basicly, technology does not affect our relationship with nature, it depends on us. We should be wiser to handle it. We need to be more aware when we are more astonished with a nature picture than the Earth’s beauty, we do realize the first became most important.

A lot of people felt the environment was in real trouble now. Actualy, human beings were the cause of much of the trouble. Introducing 'how important to keep the Earth in a good way' to our children today is a good effort that will save them in the future.

Introducing children to nature will raise awareness of our planet’s problems. It pushes us to look for ways to slow or even reverse the damage we’ve done. Doing the 3 R (reduce, reuse, recycle) is one of the steps that can save our planet Earth.

I always sort my trash and garbage. I pick and separate recycling materials like cans, glass, and paper. My son and I love to make some crafts from reusable stuff, last time we made our own piggybank from the cans.

Think about what we can do to save our nature and help make the planet cleaner and healthier place.

Teaching Our Children about Ramadan

Alhamdulillah, Allah still gives us the opportunity to meet the holy month of Ramadan 1437 H. When a Muslim reaches mature age, he/she should have fast and other ibadah in Ramadan. As parents, we need to train our kids to fast and give them the meaning of Ramadan which the rewards and benefits are very plentiful. I started to introduce my son about Ramadan when he was about 4 years old.

Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset. I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.
