A study that has been recently carried out in the United Kingdom and that has been carried out by the National Foundation for Educational Research has shown that gardening is a very positive practice in children. The study was carried out thanks to the collaboration of 1300 teachers who were interviewed and ten schools that were examined. The study showed that those schools where children had classes on gardening had more developed certain cognitive abilities.
What positive benefits does the garden in the kids? First of all, children by working in teams learn to relate to others in a positive way and learn to collaborate in groups. A skill that is very necessary in the development of the adult personality. On the other hand, children have a more developed motor skills and have a better understanding of the natural environment thanks to an activity that promotes love of the environment.
Through gardening and plant care, children also have much more developed the spirit of responsibility when taking care of a garden on a regular basis. On the other hand, children also learn earlier how important it is to have a healthy diet.
Gardening is a very positive and fun entertainment and parents can instill this habit in children because gardening can also be understood as a game and a form of leisure. An entertainment through which children develop their creative intelligence much more.
