Schools, Parents, & Kids

Resources for Schools, Parents and Kids

We adults are responsible for the consequences of our actions and our parents’ actions, but kids will have to not only survive, but finish our work. Here are resources for parents, teachers, and others who interact regularly with young children and youth, including articles about youth motivation, potential actions, stories of active youth, and more. Kids will have their own entry point soon.

 

Schools

From curriculum decisions to the number of hours a day kids spend in their care, schools are uniquely positioned to have an impact on how our children both understand and navigate climate change. From this institutional level, a wealth of opportunities exist to educate students on the facts of global warming and how it is changing our world.

Parents

Parents are children’s first true teachers. Parents and grandparents have the opportunity to convey climate change values to their kids by modeling sustainable behaviors, engaging in age-appropriate discussions about environmental impacts, exposing them to nature, promoting empathy toward all living beings, encouraging critical thinking, and fostering a sense of responsibility toward the planet’s well-being.

Children’s voices can inspire action, mobilize communities, and demand accountability from leaders. From organizing school strikes to creating impactful social media campaigns, young activists are reshaping the climate change narrative.
