The Mom I Want to Be

Children need to be taught why they shouldn’t litter. Explain how important it is to put trash in waste receptacles or recycling bins, and encourage them to throw away their own napkins, wrappers etc. in an appropriate manner. You and your little one can also help “Keep America Beautiful” by volunteering to plant flowers at a local park or playground. Point out graffiti and explain why defacing property is wrong. Help your youngster to understand that we are all responsible for keeping our communities clean and attractive.
