The Child and The Environment.

      Аннотация: As community awareness of environmental issues increases, so does the value of environmental programs for children. The main aim of an environmental program for children is to provide them with knowledge, skills and attitudes to assist them to become environmentally responsible. Participating in environmentally sustainable activities can encourage the development of children’s sense of responsibility and empowerment. Staff and carers in children’s services can provide opportunities for children to connect with and to embrace the natural world. When parents understand how their child responds to certain situations, they an learn to anticipate issues that might present difficulties for their child. They can prepare the child for the situation or in other cases they may avoid a potentially difficult situation all together. Parents can tailor their parenting strategies to the particular temperamental characteristics of the child. They can also avoid thinking that a behavior that reflects a temperament trait represents a pathological condition that requires treatment.
