First, I would like to talk about what Hanaiku is. Hanaiku aims to foster kids’ sense of appreciation of life, beauty, and improve self-esteem through working with plants and flowers.
Second, as you would like to know the meaning of Hanaiku. It comes from two words.
Hana 花 はな:flower
Iku 育 いく: to forster, raise, bring up
Please watch this video and you would like to give it a try with your kids. You can try it by yourself, too!
Why I made this program now ?
In this challenging time, all kids and adults need to keep their minds and body healthy. I have experienced the positive effects by doing Ikebana, er arranging flowers to my mind. While I was writing about Ikebana, I discovered researches that prove my experience. I have long wanted to make something easy and benefit kids with flowers.
Kids are our future. Education is foundation for their happiness.
Finally I finished creating online Hanaiku program for parents and kids.
Flowers decrease stress and anxiety. Having flowers home gro compassion and empathy. After the kids make a beautiful flower arrangement, they will feel more confident and like themselves. They will smile on their faces.
For the adults, it works as well.
