Is your kid glued to his smartphone or television? Does he get bored during the holidays? Which activity can I do this week with my family? Don’t worry; we have the solution: bring your kids to a farm! Why go to a farm? Visiting a family farm is always a success, most of the farms that host the public offer entertainment for children: their audience no. 1: children. Educational and fun at the same time, the excursion to the farm offers a breath of fresh air! Closer to the animals: The farmer will explain to children how a farm works and introduce animals with their names (information crucial for children), their ages and stories, what they eat and what they produce. Besides, the children will be able to get very close to the animals and even to caress them. This is a great way to educate them about respect for animals. Discover farm products: Where does the butter come from? How is the milking of cows? How do you produce this or that vegetable? These are all questions your child can find answers to when visiting a family farm. Moreover, you will often have the opportunity to taste (and buy) some products made and harvested on the spot. Development of the kid: By living with animals, children approach existential themes such as birth, the meaning of life, illness, old age, and death. Their perception is oriented towards reality. In addition, according to Dr. Andreas: "The contact with animals favorites the emotional intelligence: the intuitions, the perception of the feelings of others and empathy, the capacity to automotive and the vast domain of the creativity."
