great tips,

one suggestion is to make sure the child thinks locally about the environment. More and more children know about polar bears but dont know about the local nature issues and how they relate to climate.

Great post. I think your advice is right on. Parents need to recognize that it’s time to have the talk about the birds and the bees (literally, the birds and the bees). Kids are hearing all this scary stuff through the media and at school, and parents want to make sure their kids are getting the right message: one that combines accurate, age-appropriate information with hope. Plus,if parents don’t talk about it, kids are going to feel more anxious and helpless.

My company just published a book that can help parents and kids in this endeavor: A Hot Planet Needs Cool Kids. It’s endorsed by Bill McKibben, U.S. Congressman Jay Inslee, and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. It provides parents with an overview/crash course on global warming, and it gives kids an opportunity to learn about climate change, to develop strategies to fight it, and to adopt a proactive, hopeful attitude.

Thanks for your post and for raising this important issue.
