Help kids see how they can make a difference
With climate change dominating the national conversation, helping kids navigate today’s complex world can be a formidable challenge. How can parents inspire children to make eco-conscious choices? Truth is, it’s a family affair.
Nemours Center for Children’s Health Media says the best way to teach them is to be a good role model yourself. By showing that you care about and respect the environment, your kids will do the same.
“This can start in your own backyard,” it said in its website. “Help kids plant a garden or tree. Set up bird feeders, a birdbath, and birdhouses. Kids can clean out and refill the bath daily, and clean up seed debris around feeders and restock them.”
