Writing Advice for College Students
The rise of on demand television, especially service providers like Netflix and Amazon Prime has had a perhaps unexpected side effect. They have helped boost and preserve the documentary. Many of these cover different aspects of life in the world; especially America, from justice to food. It is part of a growing awareness among people about the world we live in and the products we use.
This has included how food is made, produced, preserved and consumed, but it also covers household cleaning products. For parents and educators wanting to factor in environmentally friendly and healthier lifestyle choices into their classes, learning about cleaning products whether for the home in general or specifically for babies, is vital. Here’s a few ideas to get you started.
Teaching from a Young Age
Babies from a young age like to put stuff in their mouths. It’s one of the many ways they explore the world and learn to interact with it. For parents, there is an uncertain balance between letting them explore and protecting them from germs and other harmful substances. Early years education tends to revolve around positive reinforcement and risk avoidance. Parents can involve their children in cleaning at a relatively young age but as a means of play rather than as hard work chores. At the point, it’s good to involve natural alternatives to chemicals and sprays, so for example mixing vinegar and water together or mixing lemon juice with water. It’s also good to teach them how to clean a teddy bear – washing machine for visible dirt or put in a freezer bag and freeze for a couple of hours for bacteria.
Preparing Older Students for their Own, Independent Lives
Older students are more able to understand and discuss the risks of using chemicals around other people and animals; especially babies and toddlers. You can draw up lesson plans with the following kind of formula:
- Discuss what cleaning products are used at home by their family.
- Discuss what is used for what and how often. Get their feelings on how it smells or makes them feel if they use it.
- Introduce the chemicals involved in these products and their effects on health such as allergies, poison, eye damage, and so on.
- Introduce the idea that total cleaning is not good for health either – linked to rises in allergies for example.
- Discuss with them about alternatives which are environmentally friendly.
- Task them with researching how these chemicals affect the environment.
