Behind my dad's apartment building in Lebanon, a wild mandarin orange tree is growing. Someone probably tossed a fruit there one day, or a bird dropped a seed. The tree is full of mandarin oranges because it's citrus season right now, and Franklin had a blast picking them and playing with the stray cats! You can see him in action with my dad in this short video.
Children love being in nature. Whenever Franklin is angsty, we take him outside and he calms down right away. And, children get to know where there food comes from. Part of it seems to be instinctual, because when we still had tomatoes growing in our backyard in Iowa, Franklin would make a bee line for the cherry tomatoes, grab one, and squeeze it before eating it. Lovely :-)
Do your children enjoy being in nature?
