Empowering or Overwhelming?

Kids want to help animals, and Zoobooks wants to provide an channel for their energy. There is quite a debate, however, about how much ominous environmental news children should have to hear. There is a fine line between teaching/informing a child so he or she can make a difference, and making a child feel that a situation is too big to manage, and consequently hopeless.

We at Zoobooks want to be all about empowerment, and not fear. We are constantly looking for new options for activities and projects that take a very small view of a bigger issue, so that kids are set up for success. Are you aware of any such projects you'd like to share? Do you have any thoughts or comments on this debate? Help us make Zoobooks better than ever.
