\"\"Children frequently fail to do what you say. But they never fail to imitate what you do.<\/p>\n

Whoever said that sure knew what they were talking about, right?<\/p>\n

Kids today are no different.<\/p>\n

What if you\u2019re trying to get your children involved in energy-saving behavior?<\/p>\n

It should be pretty easy. And these tips should make getting them involved even easier:<\/p>\n

1. Make Your Children Your Boss<\/strong><\/p>\n

What child doesn\u2019t dream about being in charge of all those big, powerful adults?<\/p>\n

Of course, we\u2019re not saying you let them run the house. You\u2019re still the final say when it comes to decisions, punishments, and rewards.<\/p>\n

But, with saving energy, you can position your children as the experts who need to reward or punish you throughout the day.<\/p>\n

So, you can set them up by purposefully engaging in energy-saving behavior and by intentionally making mistakes.<\/p>\n

Then your children get to teach you what\u2019s right and what\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

What child won\u2019t enjoy that?<\/p>\n

2. Make Your Child Your Top Assistant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children like to learn new things and help you out. So, put them in that position with all your energy savings activities.<\/p>\n

Do simple projects like applying caulk and weather stripping. Screw in new LED light bulbs. Get a smart surge protector.<\/p>\n

Whatever it is that you can imagine, make your child your helper.<\/p>\n

3. Create A Self-Reporting System<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than putting all the work on you to catch your children in good energy-savings habits, create a self-reporting system.<\/p>\n

Maybe they put a token of their favorite superhero in a jar every time they do something right.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of this approach is that rewards can be almost constant. That keeps your child much more conscious and involved with saving energy.<\/p>\n

4. Play Energy-Savings Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one may not be fun for too long, but it should work a couple times. Show your child how a ribbon flaps when it gets hit by the breeze.<\/p>\n

Then, have them move that ribbon around areas of your home where you might have air leaks. When it flaps, they should let you know.<\/p>\n

Like we said, probably not fun over the long-term. But it should work and help you out a few times while you work on weatherproofing your home.<\/p>\n

A little bit more fun might be found in an electricity-free family fun night. Maybe this is hide\u2019n\u2019seek in the dark, flashlight tag, playing board games, or whatever it is everyone enjoys doing.<\/p>\n

And finally, have a gas-free transportation adventure. Ride your bikes to somewhere everyone loves to go. And make sure to teach your children how this saves you energy.<\/p>\n

Yes. You can teach your children energy savings and easily get them involved. And hopefully these ideas have helped you figure out what works for your family.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
