Somewhere we adults especially mothers have become too protective.

dont play in
the sun, dont touch that tree, dont play in the grass, you will get dirty or the common,
go and play but please dont come with dirty clothes!
Hey, remember, daag ache hai!
Children seek nature, because it is their world till we make television, video games
and air-conditioned rooms their world! Children need the calming, cooling connect
with nature. It helps them develop patience, soothes them, helps them concentrate
and rejuvenates them with positive energy and also helps them burn out negative
energy.
it is so true for todays children. This disconnect from nature is unknowingly contributing
to many problems. Connecting with nature is so important for the survival of mankind.
Our bodies are made of the five tatvas (5 elements) the same five elements are also
found in nature which means we are made of nature! And hence inherently our bodies
seek nature, want to be close to it, want to benefit from it and nurture it.
Lets give the world back to children. Lets give them all five- Jal, Vayu, Akash,
Prithvi, Agni.

An Overview of the Five Element Types

Wood Kids Have Tons of Energy


At one end of the spectrum, we have the Wood child who is very energetic, curious and
adventurous. He is active and needs physical outlets in order to manage his energy and
feelings, which will enable him to stay balanced. Curiosity and a drive to figure things
out often lead to constant questioning of parents and teachers. He likes to push the
boundaries to challenge himself and see how firm the boundaries are with authority
figures.

Fire Kids are Active and Entertaining


On the more active side, is the Fire child who is bright, vibrant and seeks lots of
stimulation. She wants her parents to entertain her and play with her, and loves being
surrounded by friends and family. Shes a very active and engaging kid that likes
constant movement. A Fire child may enjoy entertaining you by dancing and singing.
She recharges by being around people, and cant wait to share every detail of her day at
school as soon as she sees you!

Earth Kids are Lovable Little Souls


In the middle of the spectrum, is the Earth child who is friendly, outgoing and talkative,
but doesnt necessarily enjoy being in the spotlight. He is mommys helper and is a
loving child whos very attached to Mom, Dad, Grandma and anyone else who cares for
him. While your Earth child may go with the flow, he can also get worried about his
family and friends or even his pets and is reluctant to be away from them for very long.

Metal Children Thrive on Routine and


Rituals
We have the Metal Child who is easy going about many things, but also has a stubborn
streak. She is loving with her close relatives, but shy with strangers. She thrives on
routine and ritual and is particular about many things, especially foods, and may be
sensitive to textures and tastes. Shes active, but not as active as Fire and Wood children
who keep their parents on the go all the time. Instead, she enjoys a balance of activity
and quiet time.

Water Kids are the Most Easy Going


On the other end of the spectrum, we find the Water child, who is very creative and is
likely a deep thinker. She feels more deeply than other children and often understands
emotional nuances in ways that are considered wise beyond her years. Parents may
describe their water child as an old soul. They can occupy themselves for hours in their
own creative world, exploring these deeper thoughts and feelings.
Air is a mixture of gases containing nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and water vapour, dust particles
and other gases (1 %).
2. Air occupies space. It also has weight.
3. Air exerts pressure in all directions.
4. Air can be compressed.

The existence of water is essential for life on Earth.

Water has three different states, liquid, solid and gas.

The word water usually refers to water in its liquid state. The solid state of water is known as ice
while the gas state of water is known as steam or water vapor.

Water covers around 70% of the Earths surface.

There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was
formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs
drank.

Water is composed of two elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen. 2 Hydrogen + 1


Oxygen = H2O.

Nearly 97% of the worlds water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2%


is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanitys
needs all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and
personal needs.

Water regulates the Earths temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the
human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects
organs and tissues, and removes wastes.

75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water.

A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without
water.

Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground


ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up in our water.

The average total home water use for each person in the U.S. is about 50
gallons a day.

The average cost for water supplied to a home in the U.S. is about $2.00 for
1,000 gallons, which equals about 5 gallons for a penny.

Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water,
which is why ice floats in water.

Fire is very dangerous to humans as it can easily burn or blister skin. It is important to take safety
precautions when using fire.

Fire is also very useful to humans for lighting, heating, cooking and more.

Scientists believe that humans began using fire to cook food in a controlled way around 1 million
years ago.

Forest fires can be extremely destructive and are dangerous to both humans and wildlife.

Fires require fuel, oxygen and heat to burn.

Earth is the only known planet where fire can burn.

It is the only planet that has an atmosphere containing 21 percent oxygen.


It is the only planet that has liquid water on its surface.
It is the only planet in the solar system that has life.
