Laurel Trees
In article , "Kev Pearce" writes: | Thanks both Ron and Kay for your replies. | Good advice, and the teaching process starts here ! A chilli plant could be a useful teaching aid for the one year old. Leave it at ground level, say "NO" firmly, and do nothing to stop the child from eating a fruit .... I follow the child rearing school of the late Professor Pavlov :-) Also, it is essential not to say "no" to everything, or they will stop asking. There is no need to forbid anything that isn't dangerous, and saying "don't eat that - but this is OK" is a lot more effective. A slightly irrelevant story. My daughter copied me in telling a drunken (teenage) friend of hers that japonica fruit is edible. Which is, of course, true. Apparently, the shock of biting into one got through even his inebriation! Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
