Climate Crisis Conversations - Talking with children about climate change
Listen now
Description
SUMMARY How can adults talks about climate change with children? This question is at the heart of this conversation between psychotherapist Caroline Hickman and host Verity Sharp. Caroline Hickman is a climate psychologist and teaching fellow at the University of Bath in England. In this thoughtful conversation, Hickman offers guidance to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and all adults interacting with children. Hickman shares she sees anger over the climate emergency expressed more than eco-anxiety and speaks about supporting children instead of only talking to them. She also shares practical solutions and what she learned from her conversation with a six-year-old child when she asked the child how she wants adults to talk to her about serious topics.
