Re: Appropriate Teachings - Global Warming
Oh yes, of course that is what happens. We recycle, we have a vege garden, we grow fruit, we have other trees too. We have a eucalyptus tree we bought when it was 15cms tall, now it's as tall as I am and she knows that it's because we raised it and watered it and pulled the weeds up if they grew around it so we could protect from them when it was smaller. We read about different animals from all around the world and their habitats. We go to the river and watch the turtles swimming. We don't swim in the river but we do watch the ducks and turtles. We go bush walking and I point out the animals and the trees we see. We've seen lots of kangaroos and lizards, but once we saw a koala in a tree. That's the only time I've ever seen one in the wild so it was exciting for us both!
I just feel that in order to teach her the good things, I have to teach her how to protect it and why we need to protect our world. These include littering and getting involved in Clean Up Australia Day and so on. Now she's watched this movie, or parts thereof, she is asking what Global Warming is and I don't quite know how to explain that to her. Thanks for your response, and I do also have print-outs from the internet.
