Composter. Composting can be a fun stem activity. Instead of being told what kinds of trash goes where, understanding how nature’s leftovers eventually break down and turn into fertilizer is a much better way to motivate kids to be part of the healing process for our planet. Make your child the composter and have her be in charge of collecting leftover apple cores, banana peels and any other of nature's wrappers in a compost bin, especially after meals.
Ambulator. An ambulator is someone who coordinates walking opportunities for the family. Let your child come up activities on the weekend that won’t involve driving, or help her seek out everyday opportunities where the family can substitute walking or biking with driving.
