It makes a personal connection between your child and his environment. He also start to develop a sense of knowledge about looking after his own plant.

If you do wish to buy a plant, you can always adopt a tree. Get your child to stand at the tree and mark his height against the tree trunk. You can explain to your child what the tree does to help mankind:

- Materials such as crayons, pencils, paper come from the tree

- Nobody should own the tree, as they are free to grow but they have to be taken care of.

Use a tape measure and show your child how to note the tree’s girth on a chart. Take a picture of your child next to the tree as he gets older, to remind him how much more the tree would have grown if we have left it to grown freely.
