Who are the true owners of Earth? These little nuggets that run around your home are the ones in whom the future of earth lies. Showing them how beautiful our motherland is, we also shall expose them to the harsh realities of life.
Earth is changing, it is getting old day by day. And it’s high time we protect it from getting aged and fading away slowly. A national poll was conducted and it was found that 8 out of every 10 teachers and parents are teaching children about climate change of our planet.
It gives a hope to know that our children will inherit the world from us which is store house of wondrous things and adventures. Every day I see my little ones becoming more generous, caring, smarter than will I ever will be. But sometimes it also makes me sad to think that, just like our generation and every generation before us, our children when fully grown, they will have to deal with social and environmental problems that they had no part in causing.
Climate change is of great concern for parents and children all over the world. Talk to your kids about climate change without making them think the world is destined, I would like to share with you these great ideas for having a ‘climate-conversation’ with your little ones:
Clue 1: Take them close to nature –
Unless and until children have a deep insight into nature, they won’t connect with what you are talking about. Let them dive into oceans and climb those snow-cap mountains to make friends with nature. When they will feel how adventurous and magical nature is, they will automatically draw out plans to save it. Show them the true wonders of this huge beautiful ball.
