    My son is color blind so he cannot observe the items in our Nature Study without making a green stem bright orange!  I want to encourage him to do the observing but I’d like him to learn the true colors.  How would you encourage this?  Thanks.

    I’d suggest asking your eye doctor about that one.  But my understanding of color blindness makes me think that I would just let it go.  We have a good friend who is color blind and still can’t tell the difference between certain colors after 40+ years.  He apparently got the name pinkie at work because it kept coming to work in pink shirts that he thought they were white.  Fortunatly it doesn’t bother him.  Laughing  He’s a very successful engineer and a pilot too!

    My guess is putting too much emphasis on it will just make Nature Study unfun.  If an orange stem is what matches what he see most, then an orange stem is a good observation.

    Since nature study is about observation perhaps you should let him draw what he sees since he will never see what we see.
