A book helping children to understand and learn about climate change.

[Claravan]

After few months doing my research to see what as educational support material to help me teach the climate change topic to my kids and to my surprise there are no many books if any, to assist teachers or us parents in introducing the subject; as complex and complicated as it is to understand for children of young age.

I finally found the best book on amazon called “ YELOPINKO and YELOBLUBLU Learn About Climate Change” by CLOWI GREEN

we agree that climate change topic can be a challenging one to teach, but with this book I strongly believe it will be much easier to introduce the subject to our children.
This book will inspire them to practice the Eco-friendly habits such as recycling, reusing, reducing and composting.
My kids favorite book so far, they wanted the book again and again.

How old are they? I’ve decided not to discuss topics like this with mine until they are much older. It’s just one more thing for them to worry about which they can’t do anything to prevent. Your household already recycles presumably. They don’t really need to know the ins and outs of why you do it other than to reduce waste.

Kids are suffering more than ever from anxiety and loading them with global emergencies that they can do nothing about is not going to help them.

YANBU as long as you're doing it in an age appropriate way, brilliant parenting in my book. :)

The problem with Climate Change is that authorities here don't yet have an agreed concise answer as to how to address it. As it requires some science background to understand it, we can learn from the parents in Africa who have realised since 2004, that their children need to experience international science projects by working with other children from around the world. They are making sure their children are ready to participate in these by sending them to schools that teach them Esperanto. This is because it is an international language costing only one fifth as much as English and much more important, able to give fluency in about a year, in time for their children to experience international science projects as soon as they start science lessons. They cannot do this with English as it needs 7 to 10 years to give fluency, before which they have left school! So they are using the only affordable approach to support their children to understand and so give them a chance to address Climate Change by experiencing co-operation first hand with other children around the world, while young and still at school. Our government here has recognised the necessity of this by formally approving Esperanto in 2017, for use in our schools here. As this is a parents initiative it needs the support of all parents everywhere, including those of us here as well. So yes there is plenty we can do, but we need to find out about all this by checking up on what Esperanto is all about, otherwise we will get further behind African and other parents in their wish for their children to experience diplomacy and understanding through co-operation with our own children. This is also discussed under International Education here. I have seen children enjoying learning Esperanto and doing basic translations after only 45 minutes tuition! It is better to start with that first, as it gives them what they must have with a new experience, and that is success and enjoyment in using it quickly. Never underestimate our children in their capabilities and interest in new ways of doing things!
