Children who hear flowers: Amazing Discovery at School for Special Children
How autistic children learn to communicate through plants
In one of the specialized schools for children with autism, a miracle happened. A group of children who were considered “unteachable” began to show an unusual ability to “hear” flowers. This process is not associated with magic, but it is difficult to explain only logic. Children find contact with plants using touch, attention and sensitivity to the vibrations of the environment.
The uniqueness of this ability lies in the fact that plants, according to children, seem to convey their “emotions” to them. These interactions help children express their feelings, better understand the world around them, and even learn to communicate with others. Teachers and parents call this phenomenon a real breakthrough in teaching children with disabilities.
Unique methods of sensitivity development
This discovery is based on specially developed techniques aimed at developing sensitivity and empathy. These techniques not only help children interact with plants, but also improve their ability to understand and express their own emotions. Here are the key elements of the programme:
- Tactile interaction: Children spend time ironing leaves, feeling the texture of stems and flowers. This helps them develop sensory perception.
- Audit exercises: Teachers record the noise of leaves, grass rustling and raindrops, and then let children listen to those sounds for relaxation and concentration.
- Communication through symbols: Children “transmit” their emotions to plants, and teachers help them interpret this connection through drawings or simple stories.
- Gardening activities: Planting and caring for plants teach responsibility and develop a sense of attachment.
These techniques do not require complex equipment and can be adapted for use at home or in other educational settings.
Photos and videos of incredible moments of contact
Unique interactions of children with plants were recorded in photos and videos. These images touch to tears, showing how children, previously withdrawn and untalkable, find joy and peace by communicating with flowers:
The video shows children coming to life smiling and interacting with plants as if they were real friends. These moments are the best proof of how nature can affect the inner world of man.
The history of the transformation of “uneducated” children
One striking example was the case of 8-year-old Tom, who used to avoid communication and hardly reacted to attempts by his parents to establish contact with him. From the beginning of school, Tom began to show interest in the world through interaction with plants. His first “friendship” was a house tree, to which he came every day to iron the leaves and listen to their rustle.
After a few months, Tom became more sociable and even started playing with other children. His parents said, “It’s like a miracle.” We did not believe that such changes were possible. Nature has revealed in him what we have never seen.
This story is one of many that prove that attention and love for nature can change the lives of children with disabilities.
Advice for parents to develop special abilities
If you want to try these techniques at home, here are some simple steps to help your child develop sensitivity and better understand themselves and the world around them:
- Create a green space: Put plants in the room that the child can touch and watch their growth.
- Spend time in nature: Walking in the forest or park will help your child relax and feel connected to the world around him.
- Use tactile exercises: Let your child touch different plants, explain their properties, texture and smell.
- Turn on the sounds of nature: Write down the rustle of leaves or the singing of birds to create an atmosphere of calm at home.
- Take care of the plants together: Show your child how to water flowers, prune dry leaves and watch them grow. It develops responsibility and empathy.
Conclusion
The story of children who hear flowers is an inspiring example of how nature helps to develop unique abilities and open new horizons. Such techniques not only make children’s lives brighter, but also teach us, adults, to be more attentive to the world around us.
Try to incorporate elements of interaction with nature into your child’s life, and you will see how he will begin to open up, find harmony and joy in simple things.
