In return trip from the museum of geology (Sunday, 19 July), after launching the Association of Education Practitioners House (aspirations) of Bandung, my child to sit beside me. He was asleep on the bus, but on the toll road he awakened. Direct fresh eyes. Perhaps because fresh air to breath along the road.

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.
