Pick Spring Herbs And Turn Your Child Into An Off-Grid Nature Lover
Taking your children outside to gather springtime herbs provides you with an excellent opportunity to teach the little ones about precious plants that live in your neighborhood.
If you are all suffering from cabin fever, searching for herbs provides exercise and much-needed fresh air – and can help turn kids into nature-lovers. Be sure to provide age appropriate information.
Emphasize the importance of not eating wild plants without your approval. Teach the children to gather plants only from clean areas. Children need to be taught to collect small amounts of plants from locations where the herbs grow in profusion. I recommend gathering herbs which are very simple to identify and can be used for children’s health.
You may use your herbs fresh or dry them for future use. You also can prepare them in a wide array of forms including tinctures, syrups, salves, and pills. Herbal infusions are simple to prepare. Be sure to include your children in the medicine-making process. They love to measure, stir and pour. If your children get ill, they are likely to be more amenable to taking a remedy which they helped to prepare. Label your herbs and herbal products carefully. Store them out of reach of children.
