Discussion Tips for Parents

Here are some conversation starters to help you talk about water issues with your children:

Start with Gratitude

"We're lucky to have clean water from our tap. Not everyone has this. How do you think it would feel if we couldn't drink our water?"

Connect to Their Experience

"Remember when Chircuit cleaned the lake in the game? What did you learn about keeping water clean?"

Encourage Empathy

"Some kids in Canada have to boil their water every day. How do you think that makes them feel? What could we do to help?"

Focus on Solutions

"What are some ways we can protect water in our own community? How can we be like Chircuit?"
