Hi everyone. I am new here.
Me I'm 33 and a Mum to 4 wild spirited lovely children whom I home-educate .
I have had a passion for wildlife since I was 8 and became interested in birdwatching. As a teen I volunteered at an RSPB nature reserve.
Now I am a home-ed mum we have set up a group to support our local home-educators and are organising lots of wildlife activities. For example the over 10's this week are learning tree management and coppicing and the under 10's are doing tree identification and seed collection. I beleive you have to start with the children and their appreciation for nature.
It's great fun and means we can get out doors and do what we want when we want.
So hi to everybody on here. I am sooo glad to have found this forum!

Hi Super mum!!
Nice to meet you! I hope you will enjoy this site!
A commentary about young children and nature. If you see children are interested in nature since birth. You put a baby on the grass and he/she is going to see the ants, the little flowers, etc etc. Unfortunately the influence of adults that dont like nature, make children become destructive or afraid of animals. |

Do you know I think patience is something I have got better at. Either that or I am as most people probably assume, completely crazy Quote: |

Welcome welcome,
In my experience of leading 'minibeast' hunts. It is still full of wonderment for the primary school kids. It's when they to being undergraduates at 18/19 that becomes a more difficult job, unless the bdrock of interest has been established.
