Hello,
I have two young kids and lately, I am having a lot of anxiety and sadness thinking about how the current climate crisis will affect them.
I also have regrets because I decided to have children while knowing about the climate crisis. At the time, I was optimistic, but no so much anymore.
It has been hitting me hard the last few days. How do you cope/deal with this as a parent?
Thanks
I try to teach them to be curious but careful with nature. They are still young, but my oldest starts to pick up a lot of things, so this is a new subject that I can start to talk about with her.
We live in a city, so nature preservation is harder to teach, but we could definitely do better to help insects and flora with our little space of backyard. And it is a fun activity.
A backyard is the perfect place to start building a connection with your ecosystem. Your kids are lucky to have that access, and lucky to have you to show it to them
