“Environment is no one’s property to destroy; it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect. – Mohith Agadi
Earth is our loving home, and we never want our home to get dirty as it affects both physical and mental health. We should love our environment to see how it supports us as a result. Young people can understand this. But children require consciousness. Your kids should love and care about their environment as they are the future of our nation. But what’s the way to teach children?
Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you. Robert Fulghum
If you become a sustainable parent, you’ll have sustainable children. Before understanding detailed tips, it’s essential to know basic ones—tips that will help you treat your child the best way. You’ll not only save the environment but insert in a child’s subconscious mind that it’s essential to save our environment. It’s an effective step towards positive social conditioning.
Tips For Sustainable Parenting:
Begin following the tips below today and become a good person and make your child as well.
1. Buy Reusable Products:
Instead of just buying single-use products, it’s better to go for those you can use again and again. Buying single-use plastic toys is one of the biggest mistakes parents make. Plastic is dangerous for our environment!!! Buy toys that are made of wood or recycled plastic, or cardboard. Many companies offer these kinds of toys, such as Envirotoy, Eco Tots, and Babipur.
2. Support Second-Hand Items:
Parents need to become sustainable—instead of just being plastic-free. Support second-hand items. Some people think these items are only for low-class people. However, these items offer everyone to reuse them and save their environment. It’ll promote the trend of reusing. People will resell their products instead of throwing them away. Freely buy second-hand clothes. You can check out apps like Depop, Vinted, and even Facebook marketplace. Ask your children to gift their toys to other children who don’t need them so they’ll not discard them.
3. Teaching:
Your children will definitely follow you. But you should also teach them, so they’ll always remain passionate about saving Earth. You can make them read relevant books and watch videos. The best way is to guide them with your words, as nobody can know more about your child than you. You’ll make them realize the importance of Earth the way they require.
Hope so my words will convince you to take this good step—best of luck on your new journey.
