"We Keep the Earth Healthy"

Our children work hard at being good listeners, playing nicely with friends, and sharing their toys. (Most of the time!) Translating the desire to be good into responsible Earthlings is a  lot easier than it may seem!

Now Playing:

Sprout has put together ways some of our Sproutlets keep the earth healthy already, in their own words in this video.  You may be surprised to discover your children are already doing these things and more without thinking about it.  That's terrific! Giving them the language to recognize that their small choices affect the world in a big way can encourage them to keep doing the right thing for themselves, their neighborhood, and their world.

What are some things your children do to keep the earth healthy?

    My family and I love to help the earth! We are always on the "look out" for earth-friendly things!

    My daughter Kyra helps me plant flowers and vegetables in our garden. She waters them everyday with her very own watering can!

    My daughter Tiana helps out by recycling. She also loves to help me plant flowers each summer for the little bees to enjoy!
