Teaching Children to Save the Earth.

Wilson, Ruth A.

Early Childhood News, v8 n2 p24-26 Mar-Apr 1996

Examines the appropriateness of environmental education for young children. Concludes that in helping young children become good citizens of the earth, it is better to focus on fostering a sense of wonder and awe than on facts and warnings. Children can come to know the earth through experiences in which they discover the wonder and beauty of the world. (TJQ)
