Climate change is rapidly altering our world, from heat waves to rising seas, making it seem increasingly daunting. As adults, we feel the weight of these changes, and our children can sense our anxiety. This raises a crucial question: How do we talk to our kids about climate change? Children are perceptive and curious, but they also deserve a childhood free from constant fear. Today, we're exploring insights from the Science Moms - a group of climate scientists and educators who aim to raise informed, inspired, and unafraid children. We'll address your questions about discussing our changing world with the next generation. Tune in next week for Part 2, where we’ll talk about how to raise kids who get involved in shaping our planet’s future!
