It has been suggested that primary school children should be taught how to grow vegetables and keep animals. To what extent the advantages outweigh its disadvantages.

It's been a contention of what should we teach to our school grader

children

whether to do

vegetable

gardening or engage in animal care. I would argue that both are essential for the growth and development of our growing

children

since doing gardening can develop basic skills

while

keeping

animals

hone a

child

's emotional quotient. Introducing basic knowledge of

vegetable

growing to our school graders helps them develop important basic skills; being patient, responsible, and caring which are crucial in

children

's social, emotional and cognitive development. School programs,

such

as gardening are done in a group, together they will cultivate the soil before planting a seed and nourish it daily with water until it grows.

This

process is all done in a patient manner, consistent and with love in order to produce food on the table without

this

the

vegetable

plant will die.

Hence

,

children

will be more encouraged to do

this

type of activity with other

children

as well,

thus

improving their socialization skills. On the other hand, keeping

animals

at home will develop

children

's emotional quotient towards

animals

. Having a pet at home,

for instance

, a dog(which has loving-natured) will boost their emotions of

love

the love

show examples

for the animal,

however

, it does not limit only to one animal but to the general population as observed.

As a result

, a

child

that exposes to

this

type of environment usually has a loving, caring and responsible upbringing. Giving them an edge over other

children

who are not exposed.

In contrast

to childs' ,safety some

animals

are not safe to care for, albeit there's always an option like choosing only those small

animals

and safe for the

child

. In conclusion, I am of a balanced opinion as both have plausible advantages, compared to their disadvantages for safety issues. I would argue that learning

vegetable

gardening and animal keeping is vital for a

child

's growth and development.
