Summary Disconnection with nature is clearly evident in the lives of children. So on this environment day, try to get your grandchildren outdoors to connect with nature.

Nature is Where You Find It When it comes to inspiring a love of growing things, a city park, community garden, and a backyard can be educational and inspiring. It is completely a matter of a place that is convenient for you.
Adjust Your Expectations If you like taking hikes, make sure to start including your grandchildren in them. You might have to set your expectations in advance of what is actually an easy outing. As you spend time in a park, don’t just focus on the destination. Take a break and explore nature with your grandchildren. Let their natural curiosity guides the pace of the hike.
Don’t Forget the Garden: Another great way to connect with nature is gardening. Not every child will be drawn to cultivation and be excited to water the plants. But, if you let them help harvest, you might just be surprised at how green leafy vegetables all of a sudden seem to be appetizing.
Enjoy Outside It’s important that you show your grandchildren that you also enjoy spending time outside and make it a big part of your life. We can’t expect our children to enjoy spending time outside if we ourselves don’t enjoy. Simply spending time at the beach or park and taking long walks is enough.
Start a Sit Spot Sit spots are places you can sit and relax outdoors. It’s a great to make a place where you can just be still and listen to nature. It’s a great way to see just how much life is in nature, whether it’s listening to the birds or seeing the many different insects running around the plants. World Environment Day is a great time to not only reconnect with nature but to reconnect with you family as well. Taking time to instill a love of nature in your grandchildren will be something they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
