Abstract

SYNOPSIS This tutorial draws together research on the impacts of climate change on children and youth, and suggests how parents, and parenting researchers, educators, and professionals, can engage with climate change. We start with an overview of the science of climate change and highlight the urgency of action to restore a safe climate for future generations. Then we discuss three major types of impact of climate change on children and youth: first, their greater vulnerability to its impacts on health and well-being due to physiological immaturity and dependency, a vulnerability that is greatly exacerbated for children in disadvantaged circumstances; second, evidence of widespread worry about climate change among children and youth, and their need for support and empowerment to respond adaptively to these anxieties; and third, the need to prepare the next generation for demands for massive changes in lifestyles as the world transitions to a low-carbon economy. We follow with a review of evidence about how parents can support their children through actively engaging with the issue themselves and through communication and other strategies that help build children’s hope, efficacy, resilience, and engagement. We then discuss the multiple important roles that parenting researchers and professionals can play in addressing climate change, concluding that those of us with responsibility for future generations need to recognize climate change as an urgent challenge.
气候变化:对父母和养育子女的影响
本教程汇集了关于气候变化对儿童和青少年影响的研究,并就父母、育儿研究人员、教育工作者和专业人士如何参与气候变化提出了建议。我们首先概述了气候变化的科学,并强调采取行动为子孙后代恢复安全气候的紧迫性。然后,我们讨论了气候变化对儿童和青年的三种主要影响类型:首先,由于生理上的不成熟和依赖性,他们更容易受到气候变化对健康和福祉的影响,处于不利环境的儿童的这种脆弱性大大加剧;第二,有证据表明,儿童和青年普遍担心气候变化,他们需要得到支持和授权,以适应这些焦虑;第三,随着世界向低碳经济转型,需要让下一代做好准备,以适应生活方式发生巨大变化的需求。接下来,我们回顾了一些证据,说明父母如何通过积极参与问题,通过沟通和其他策略来支持孩子,帮助孩子建立希望、效能、适应力和参与度。然后,我们讨论了育儿研究人员和专业人士在应对气候变化方面可以发挥的多种重要作用,并得出结论,我们这些对子孙后代负有责任的人需要认识到气候变化是一个紧迫的挑战。

期刊介绍: Parenting: Science and Practice strives to promote the exchange of empirical findings, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches from all disciplines that help to define and advance theory, research, and practice in parenting, caregiving, and childrearing broadly construed. "Parenting" is interpreted to include biological parents and grandparents, adoptive parents, nonparental caregivers, and others, including infrahuman parents. Articles on parenting itself, antecedents of parenting, parenting effects on parents and on children, the multiple contexts of parenting, and parenting interventions and education are all welcome. The journal brings parenting to science and science to parenting.
