I brought Clarissa (4 yrs) and Christa (2 yrs) to our neighbourhood Mamak Restaurant a few days ago and stopped by the small indoor garden infront of our condominium. The children were looking at the fish in the pond when they noticed a moth holding onto the underside of a fern leaf.
They were told to keep silent while watching the little creature. Christa was so excited but could hardly keep it quiet while Clarissa kept on asking me why the moth was 'there' and 'not moving'. After answering her, Christa would ask me the same question.
It's nice to show them a little bit about nature so that they would treasure it's beauty while they can still enjoy them. We hold that they would grow up to be responsible nature loving citizens who will protect the need for coexistence of wildlife and man.
