by Gilian, in category Family, Reflections

“Why don’t you just buy vegetables? It is cheaper and it won’t take too much of your time.” I do buy veggies, but this why we plant:😅 “It has been four days and my seed has not grown yet!” My second son said in frustration and hopelessness. “Well, when you sow something, it will grow,… Read More

by Gilian, in category Family, Time to Teach, Women

We often hear old people say “let them play” or “it’s better for them to play”, but what kind of play is good for kids? Should we just let them play alone? Outside? Indoor?
