Parent-child walks around the city

On October 16, Tainan Community University (台南社大) held a parent-child flora walking tour of the city starting at Zhonghua West Road and ending at Beiji Temple (北極殿). Lecturer at the community university Lin Xuan-han (林軒漢) led the tour, helping parents and children have fun while identifying local flora and enjoying the city’s beauty.

Some children clutched plant seeds, some ran in the grass, and some touched the bark of trees with great curiosity, the kind of lively and energetic behavior we rarely see today. Lecturer Lin Xuan-han said the reason he wanted to open this interactive parent-child course was a combination of his own passion for plants together with the hope that children have an option beyond mere books and electronic products.
 
In today's society, the world has been snatched away from children through several layers of glass – mobile phones, tablets, computers and television; such an experience can only provide a limited knowledge of plants. Tainan’s parent-child flora walking tours return to simple parent-child interactions, dispensing with class grades and yelling teachers, and instead foster an endless stream of laughter.

有的小朋友抓著植物種子，有的小朋友在草地奔跑，有的小朋友好奇地摸摸樹皮，這些活潑好動的模樣，是不是已經很少看見？講師林軒漢表示，他為什麼想開這門親子互動的課程，一方面自己對植物有濃厚的興趣；一方面也希望各位小朋友的童年不是只停留在書本、電子產品。
 
在現今社會，孩子眼中的世界被好幾面玻璃奪走，手機、平板、電腦、電視機，記者認為讓孩子體會不只是單純的植物知識，而是回歸一種純粹的親子互動，這堂課不會有分數，老師也不會罵人，有的是源源不絕的笑聲。
