One of the most rewarding aspects of parenthood is watching your child make the right decision on their own. If we teach the next generation about the importance of recycling and having an Earth-sustainable lifestyle now, they will be able to make eco-friendly choices when it is time for them to decide on their own.

Meglena Antonova understands that as a parent, you can't just shove lessons down a child's throat and expect the child to learn them; good parenting means talking to your child and creating a friendly space for discussion.

This Earth Day, Antonova can show parents how to teach children about caring for the Earth in an engaging and open manner that will get them excited about recycling, green charities and visiting the local farmer's market.

Antonova will discuss:

• Why it is essential that children learn to think about the needs of others and how that leads to respect for the Earth's resources.

• How buying Earth-friendly toys and books can teach your child about making better consumer decisions.

• Starting a home-recycling project with your child.

• Fun ways for you and your child to volunteer together on Earth day and the best green charities to get your family involved in.

• Why asking your children to participate in a greener family lifestyle will help them make greener choices as adults.
