b. Role models at home affect children’s attitudes.

d. There’s no need to tell children about climate issues as they don’t care anyway.

Solución: Children ask questions like: “What planet am I going to inherit?”, “What will the world where I’m going to live be like?”, “Why do we care so little about the earth?”

e. Children must be informed about climate change even if they could be a bit depressed about it.

Solución: You have to inform them of the problem so that they can live with it without falling into despair.
