WHAT IS EARTH DAY?

Earth Day is a special day that we set aside to celebrate our planet Earth. Just like you celebrate your birthday once a year, people celebrate Earth Day each April 22nd.

Earth Day is a Global Event! People from all around the world celebrate Earth Day. Over 200 million people in 141 countries set aside the day to think about the Earth. Whether you live in America, Germany, Japan or Iran – the Earth is still our home.

How can we protect our Earth?

Earth Day is often used as a way to remind people that they can take steps to help protect our planet. People want to make sure that the Earth’s air is clean to breathe, our water is pure to drink and that our soil is healthy for growing food.

What can you do to help the environment?

1. Don’t litter! Always pick up your trash!

2. Recycle! The word “recycle” means to use something over again. Instead of throwing away plastic bottles, you can recycle them and make something new from them.

POSITIVE PARENTING

As a parent, you give your children a good start in life—you nurture, protect and guide them. Parenting is a process that prepares your child for independence.

Following are some of the things you, as a parent, can do to help your toddler during this time:

1. Read to your toddler daily.

2. Ask her to find objects for you or name body parts and objects.

3. Play matching games with your toddler, like shape sorting and simple puzzles.

4. Encourage him to explore and try new things.

5. Help to develop your toddler’s language by talking with her and adding to words she starts.

For example, if your toddler says “baba”, you can respond, “Yes, you are right―that is a bottle.”

6. Encourage your child’s growing independence by letting him help with dressing himself and feeding himself.

7. Respond to wanted behaviors more than you punish unwanted behaviors (use only very brief time outs). Always tell or show your child what she should do instead.

8.  Encourage your toddler’s curiosity and ability to recognize common objects by taking field trips together to the park or going on a bus ride.
