RE: Teaching Kids to Care for the Environment Without Loading Them With Guilt

in #nature7 years ago

EXACTLY. Kids really can't comprehend the politics, and I don't think its developmentally appropriate in the first place!

I think kids need to grow up watching their parents making good choices, and then they follow suit. I saw many parents lug their kids to the Nature Center where I worked so that we could "fix," them, but it didn't make a bit of difference if it didn't happen at home. For me, my Dad let me "be a kid" exploring the forest near our house. I developed a love for the outdoors, but he had to take me there. :)
