Are you struggling to know how to talk to your child about this massive topic? Here's a few tips: 👂Hear what they have to say, ask them what their thoughts and concerns are, their hopes for the future and how they're feeling. Don't try to dismiss them or minimise their worries, just validate their feelings. 🔬Do your homework and rely on science, climate researchers know best. There's a great report called 'Born into the climate crisis report' which is child friendly and explains the science, NASA also have lots too. 👦👧 Be mindful of their age and how simple or complicated what you're explaining or talking about needs to be. Start with the basics of what is good for the environment, planting trees, less meat, dairy and plastic etc then the wider context of the global problem. 🧐 Make it clear it's not their problem to solve alone and that lots of great stuff is being done by adults to address the crisis, #hope is a powerful tool! Find positive stories and help show and find solutions. 🏞️ If you have the means to, #getoutside and build a love of nature. Only when we know and understand it can we love it, and only when we love it do we want to protect it. Plant some seeds, spot some clouds, listen to the birds. 🚮 Take action together, find things that can help your children feel empowered and able to take action and make changes. Talk about things you could do - Write to your MP, join a protest, try to cook more plant-based meals. . The books pictured are a great start to your kids understanding climate change and having the conversation - see link in bio. It's ok to be scared or anxious, but know you're not alone, please message me if you want to chat about this. . #climatecrisis #climatechange #kidsclimatechange #climateanxiety #parentsforfuture #Greenpeace @parentsforfuture #childrensmentalhealth #chidrensmentalhealthawareness #globalwarming #globalwarmingisreal #climateaction #climateemergency #climatechangeisreal #havethetalk #childrensbooks #childrensreading #mentalhealthforchildren #mentalhealthforkids #beempowered #familygoals #parentingtips #tipsforparents #usbornebooks #usborne #learningaids #booksaboutclimate

Earth-shattering natural disasters! We got this book to support a school topic for my eldest on natural disasters. We’d got a few from the library, but we all loved this so bought a copy. Covering everything from avalanches, tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes and tornados, the books a beautiful blend of curated fact and science underpinning them all. Short sharp and extremely more-ish, there’s something here for everyone. Whether it’s; the myths behind the natural events; the science to explain them; the geographical illustrations that map some of the biggest historical events; to what to do if you’re caught up in one. There’s a fab intro that sets the scene and some lovely thought provoking closing sections that talk about the impact of climate change. Fantastic for the natural disasters topic at school, it’s also just a brilliant book to be able to flick through. 📚Earth Shattering Events ✍️Robin Jacobs 🎨Sophie Williams ✅KS1 and KS2 #earthshatteringevents #ks1science #ks2science #ks2books #booksfortopics #childrensbookstagram #kidsbookstagram #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #kidsclimatechange #kidsnaturebooks #learningthroughbooks #ecobooks #teachkidstuesdays #teachkidstuesday #nonfictionbooksforkids #nonfictionkidsbooks #bigtopicsbooks

@entopark *Darkling beetles can reach 1 to 1.5 inches in length. *They have a pair of segmented antennas, notched eyes and three pairs of legs. *Darkling beetles do not fly due to fused wings (also known as elytra) that are sealed to the body. *They feed on decaying plant and animal matter. They also eat live plants, buds, fruit, fungi and grains. #blacksoldierfly #blacksoldierflylarvae #soldierflylarvae #insectprotein #parksaustralia #kidsaustralia #kidsinsects #kidsclimatechange #kids4change #wastemanagement #regeneration #savethesoil #circulareconomy #wastenomore #zerowaste #sustainability #sustainable #buildawastefreeworld #wastefreeworld #environmentallyfriendly #environmentalimpact #climateimpact #earthshot #earthshotprize #earthshotprize2022 #wastesolutions #wastesolution #australia #wastesolutions #wastesolution Share the news!

Featured at @entopark the black soldier fly is said to be the great solution to reduce organic waste. Not only that BSF larvae could consume organic waste and eradicate our organic waste problems completely, but the BSF larvae is also a great source of protein for our pets and animal stocks – even a great protein source for humans too.

Lovely afternoon out planting trees @govanwetlands getting muddy and loving it 😍. Entertainment was brilliant by @colonelmustardandfriends even if jokes a bit 🤭😂 even got our own history lesson from James on the docklands 😂😍 #kidsclimatechange #rewilding #kidsactive #bepartofhistory
from greenerideal.com 1. Avoid getting into technical specifics, start simply connecting them in relatable ways to nature. Move from the known to the unknown. 2. Take the time to learn together with your kid, there are lot of kid-friendly resources on the internet. 3. Consider the feelings as well the facts: Talking about how greenhouse gas emissions affect the weather should be a great place to start. Encourage your child to talk about the feelings they have on the matter, help them sort through it. 4. Offer hope and actionable ways : Discuss some ways you can act as a family such as a recycling or reducing food waste. 5. Don't let first conversation be the last conversation. #kidsclimatechange #kidslearning #kids #kidsfuture #ecokids #kidactivist #talkkidsaboutclimatechange #kidslearnaboutclimatechange
Mammy's values 👉family's values. I've been putting a bit of energy into becoming greener, and Tara(7) and Fionn(5) have been taking it in, making this amazing picture unprompted as a surprise 🥰 Getting your kids involved in your households green journey is rewarding, educational, and fosters creativity. #kidsclimatechange #savetheenvironment #gogreen #ecofriendlyfamily #greenart
What is climate change from @wattsandwayland_books 🌍The extreme cold snap we are experienced has given us the perfect opportunity to talk climate change as part of this weeks home learning and STEAM week. 🌍This awesome book has been the best accompanying resource we could have wished for! 🌍It introduces climate change and what is causing it, details the many different impacts of climate change and the talks about solutions and gives the reader ideas of how they can get involved and make positive changes to their lifestyle to contribute towards preserving our planet and spring out to once again prosper. There’s also a great quiz at the end with my ten year old loved completing, he found the whole book really informative and enjoyable. We both learnt a lot of new information and we thought we were quite clued up on the topic! 🌍This book is for the older child, eight years and up, but you can take snippets out of it for younger children and discuss around the headings and pictures. #climatechange #kidsclimatechange #kidsnonfiction #childrensnonfiction #childrensbookstagram #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #childrensbooks
Last week, #GretaThunberg visited #Montreal to take part in Canada's biggest #climatestrike to date, joining Canadian kids on the front lines to protest for our climate.

In 2009 I directed a spot showing children protesting in the streets for climate change. It seemed surreal at the time. This past weekend, 10 years later, it actually happened.
