Talking to my kids about climate change in Nigeria is less about doom and gloom and more about teaching them practical adaptation and community care. We focus on small, actionable skills like learning how to store rainwater, understanding the importance of backyard gardening for food security, and being prepared for emergencies like localized flooding. Instead of just scaring them, I frame these lessons as becoming a resourceful generation that knows how to work with the land rather than against it. We also practice mental resilience by spending time outdoors and discussing how we can support our neighbors during heatwaves or power outages, which helps them feel like they have agency instead of just being victims of circumstance. Ultimately, I want them to grow up with the confidence that they have the knowledge and the community spirit to navigate whatever environmental shifts come their way.
