Conclusion Geography is a way of thinking, of asking questions, of observing and appreciating the Earth. Geography gives us the tools we need to move about in the world, to make wise decisions about our environment, and to relate more meaningfully to people from other lands and cultures. You can help your children learn by offering them interesting activities and by encouraging them to ask questions about their surroundings. How you talk about and relate to the world is important to your children. Help your children build correct mental images by using the right geographic terms.
Many words used in geography are everyday words.
But, like any other field of learning, geography has a vocabulary of its own. So, get a good atlas, as well as a dictionary. Check at public library used- book sales or at yard sales for good buys. You can often get maps at little or no cost. The activities suggested are only a few examples of the many ways you can bring geographic thinking into your child's early experiences.
