1. Parents may practice reading to their children from books on sustainability. Reading may be a means of strengthening the connection between parents and children while also increasing the knowledge of the children. There are many books available on the subject of climate change. Among these are "Old Enough to Save the Planet" by Loll Kirby, "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss, and "10 Things I Can Do to Help My World" by Melanie Walsh, to name a few examples.
2. Discuss recycling and put it into practice at home. Creating recycling bins in their homes and teaching children how to sort waste items and discuss which things are acceptable for recycling and which are not may help them become more environmentally conscious as they grow older.
3. Spending meaningful time in nature and not just in their rooms and on their iPads or playsets will also assist the kids to comprehend the beauty of nature, as well as the significance and advantages that can be gained from spending time in nature.
4.In addition, you and your children may participate in community service projects to help clean up your local environment and plant trees in your area.
5. Inform children about the negative consequences of behaviors that harm the environment so that they may avoid them in the future.
Children learn mostly via observation; therefore, parents should model sustainable living for their children. This will go a long way toward assisting the children in doing the same.
