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
Not a parent but perhaps teach them resiliency and sustainability. Teach them how to adapt and survive. Climate control, energy storage, hydroponics, water filtration, etc.
Control what you can. Let go of the rest.
Letting go is the hard part. When I am feeling good, it is a lot easier. But my mental health has been rough lately.
Fair. I’ve always been able to compartmentalize well, but my brain is pudding.
