Happy Earth Day! Today, April 22, is Earth Day around the world. It is a day not only to be grateful for our planet but to celebrate it and to take action towards conserving it. Here at 百花视频, we like to make sure we take time to enjoy, learn, and act on this day. First, set aside time to spend time outdoors in whatever way feels right to you – it’s proven to help with both聽. Next, take the time to educate yourself and your family on the聽; finally, make a plan for action. What can you do to help in your day-to-day life?聽
Earth Day with Little Ones

Younger children can make an聽聽with parents or caretakers. We also love聽聽(pair with a reading of the book, of course!) and this聽. Depending on where you live, consider making an Earth Day Scavenger Hunt – use聽聽or make your own based on your environment. Have children show you or one another their findings and learn a little about each one.聽
Make a Plan聽 Especially for anxious children, be sure to approach Earth Day with a sense of positivity and optimism – make a plan together to continue caring for the earth after Earth Day is over. Ask children to help with household recycling or composting. Ask the children to contribute a small amount (for example $1 of their allowance per week) to a family donation to a charity that supports conservation efforts. Take your child’s interests into account – children who love polar bears will love to hear they’re helping by supporting the聽听辞谤听.
