Thoughts for the Week:

Learning to take good care of the earth is one way children can learn to take good care of themselves, and there are so many ways they can help care for the earth and its resources. When children make toys from "throwaways" around the house, for instance, they are actually recycling. Adults who spend time with children can, by example, help them learn about conserving resources. One of the best gifts we can give children is the experience of being in households where people use resources wisely. That's a gift that will never wear out.
