Eco-activist Ella Mann's tips on talking to young people
Consider their emotional well-being before you speak. This crisis is scary and depressing, especially for young people who see their future slipping from our grasp. With younger children, be truthful, but avoid scaremongering. With older children and teens, be with them in their grief and anger, and create supportive spaces where they can express this.
Listen to them! Young people do not have the same baggage and preconceived ideas as older people, so have the ability to think more creatively about the issue. Do not assume that just because you are older that you are better equipped to tackle the climate crisis.Climate change psychotherapist Caroline Hickman's tips on talking to children

Carolinehickma Should that not read Climate Change Psychoparh? Forcing such anxiety and fear on children about something completely and utterly fictitious is child abuse. Liberals are dangerous people.
Carolinehickma I tell my kids it’s al bollocks. Designed to restrict our freedoms and extract more cash from us. We recycle, we don’t waste, we despise litter and as we live in the country, adore nature. We are all round good eggs. We just don’t buy into “The end is nigh” BS We have happy kids
Carolinehickma I don’t know about the climate “crisis”, but I do know that children would do a better job of running Woman’s Hour......
