Action

** A child who has been involved with community service such as litter collection is less likely to throw down garbage. //This only seems to happen if they have first learned to care and have made a personal connection through observation, knowledge and/or reflection.// **
 * Sometimes, during the process of observation, children will observe or learn about problems related to the living things studied. **
 * Teachers have a responsibility to help children of all ages avoid the feelings of guilt and victimization that can go along with this important awareness. **
 * Teachers and parents who encourage children to take the next step of action, will make progress in reaching this goal. They are also helping children become not only lifelong learners, but lifelong good citizens as well. **
