Some kids worry more than others. But what do you do with a kid who says, night after night, "I'm really worried about global warming, Mom." This was my dilemma a few years ago with our daughter, Helen. I couldn't look under the bed or in the closet for the global warming monster and say, "Nothing there, dear." Instead, as a Girl Scout troop leader, I guided my daughter's troop through two new books: "Breathe," about air pollution, and "Sow What?" about eating local, organic food. These materials really got everyone thinking about what they could do to make changes in their lives.
