My neighbors 4 year old daughter loves flowers and has shown an interest in gardening. I'm more than willing to 'take her on' this summer and show her the ropes.

My problem is, I've never been around children, especially ones this young. I could sure use some advice on how to teach her as we go along and basically, what's a 4 year old like? Do they have short attention spans? Should I limit the amount of time she's with me?

Any advice would be more than welcome!
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
