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'm more concerned with getting my children to leave the US, and failing badly, however I try to convince them to move to places with lower waste/consumption per capita, in the hopes they will learn to live like the locals and not be such a burden to the planet, as I have been.
