The following not about green parenting,but classicFriendship is like earthenware: once broken, it can be mended; love is like a mirror: once broken, that ends it. (Josh Billings. American humorist)Love is photogenic. It needs darkness to develop.The tyrant dies and his rule ends, the martyr dies and his rule be-gins. (Soren Kierkegaard, Danish religious philowopher) Your mind is like this water, my friend, when it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see, but if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear..Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.。！！Reminded :Make play-time green-time with greener toys，Get back to basics and try old fashioned wooden toys and organic cotton or homemade teddies. Because babies put most things in their mouths,go as natural as possible.

Being a green parent doesn’t have to be a difficult thing to do. Going green can be extremely rewarding and knowing that you are making a difference in the world that you are bringing your child up in can be hugely rewarding. However having a child also comes with its issues when it comes to going green. Diapers, baby wipes, toys and clothing all can contribute to the impact you have on the earth. You can minimize this impact with some changes – you just have to be willing to do so.

Below are 2 things you can do to minimize your impact on the earth and reduce the waste you accumulate.

1. Switch To Cloth Diapers or Try Elimination Communication – there has been many a debate about the environmental impact of not only disposables but also cloth diapers. However despite the debate, cloth diapers are not filling up landfills like disposables are, so cloth are definitely are a better option in this respect. Cloth diapers can also be used long after your baby has outgrown them, as rags or mop up cloths around the house. They can also be used for subsequent babies so you get good use out of the materials you have bought.

Baby wipes are also filling up landfills and clogging toilets. You could also try using cloth baby wipes as well. You can also make your own solution to wipe your baby too and this will help your baby’s delicate skin avoid harsh chemicals that are found in most baby wipes.

Another alternative to using diapers is elimination communication. Elimination communication is about reading your baby and looking for signs and cues that let you know when they need to use the toiler. You can then hold them over a potty, bath, toilet. Elimination communication is a great way to feel even closer to your child as you learn their cues however it is a huge commitment. There will also be accidents but you will save on not having to buy diapers. Some parents use these techniques in conjunction with cloth diapers when they are out.

2. Expose Your Children To Nature – One of the best ways to get children enthusiastic about the planet is to teach them about nature and get them in it as much as possible. You can take your children on nature walks and teach them about different animals and plants. You can show them how to forage and show them what plants are edible. You can also grow your own fruit and vegetables and get your kids involved. Maybe they can even have their own patches and little projects to work on. There is nothing better than growing your own and tasting the end result. Many children these days do not know much about their natural environment so teaching kids about it is really important in order to ensure a better future.
