This morning they are stealing opportunity to play in the sand between the rest of the building materials. I choose not to prohibit them, because if they stop wrestled with sand, they will move to play “flour” land abundant in border gardens. And far worse, because the dust-dust of the ground will dash their face and hair.

They both play on the sand is usually not separated from a quasi-real interesting to look closer. They are making railway, making the mountain, and said that her house is matrial. Yes, my son was so amazed when it was first brought her father go shopping building materials. Direct eye “scanning” to see all that is in the shop building and began to ask this and that.

Then, in a different place, in the grass field near our house a few children playing kites. And what I hear from them? Flow dirty words replication. The names of animals alternately on opposite talking.

Where did the children get the vocabulary that’s very convenient not to be heard? In school or in the house do? Clear, I think vocabulary is a product of education. Education can be done anywhere, at school or at home, there is not difference. However, if we choose to punish it will educate their own children at home and we choose a good friend to them because we want them to have a good vocabulary, I think a good, sociable and a good friend?

Not long after that, my child suddenly said, “Mama, we have attempted splash pesticides …”

“Why?” Ask me.

“For crops not eaten by pests” he said.

The statement I was suddenly made me, being that he would like to know. HE and children can learn anywhere, except on bus no. This is the time to transfer knowledge about what is and what danger of pesticides. He is still 5 years old, but because it is still 5 years old so any information will be more viscous, is not it?

I was so stories about what pesticides are made and what, if eaten accidentally danger of pesticides by living creatures. So my story about the book Rachel Carson “Silent Spring”, which is around the spring so quiet because the birds can no longer have a voice. They are sick and even die, because they eat food that already contains many toxic pesticides.

I was a child in me, “That is why we are planting their own vegetables in the garden … For the vegetables we eat does not contain pesticides. Vegetables that are usually purchased in the market always disemprot use of pesticides by the farmer. “

I gather halt. Then he asked, “Why do farmers use pesticides?”
“Maybe because they do not know the danger,” I said.
“If Ateu (meaning aunt who lectures in the department Pests Plant Diseases)?”
I says, “a pesticide Ateu to learn …”

After starting out from the bus Cileunyi toll and turn to the Jatinangor, my child suddenly cried, “If we have rice, we will be planting rice is not a pesticide. So if there are birds that we eat rice, they do not die! “

Means to him, the child yesterday (July 18) to repeat the year-5 understand that what his mother said. Hopefully the knowledge and understanding of the imprint to it adults.

Schools are expected to be less formal in shaping farming practices planting students, the parents who instill the love is still possible to field this one.

We have to try it at home with children, and the result is quite brisk alhamdulillah. Many of the lessons that we get. We hope, soon they are to “plant” environment.
