Children are Happier in the Sun

Adding a glass conservatory onto your home can allow you to provide countless hours of time in the sun for you and your children. Just as plants grow under the power of the sun’s rays, so too do children. They are the mobile plants in our lives. The skills you teach them today will feed their minds and bodies for the rest of their lives.
Get your children involved in growing their food
When you begin to develop your glass room, consider creating an area of your garden that is exclusively for the use of your young ones. You may want to have a lower planting table put in just for them. The knowledge they gain about the flowers they grow and the food they grow will be with them for the rest of their lives, not to mention the memories they will carry with them of the time they spent learning gardening skills from you.
Gardening can be a full family affair. You can teach your children how to till and create healthy soil to grow their favourite vegetables or lovely flowers. The added exposure to the warmth of the sun inside will also take away the chill air of a cooler day.
Create a special corner in the garden for your child
You can work with them at their special gardening section or table to show them how the soil, water and sun bring forth food to their table. Imagine the pride a child must feel when they see the profit of their labour at the dining table. In this way they will understand more about the value of the food they consume that other children who only know of food that comes in cans or the frozen food department at the market.
Teach and create memories
The glass extension to your home can become a special place in which you spend time with your child in the sun. They will value that time more than you can imagine. Indeed, they may be the reason why you actually get in there to water and weed your garden, for they will most assuredly pester you to come out to play with them in the garden. You will teach them invaluable skills that they will carry with them for life and they will have the memories of their time with you in the garden.
