[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 16 y/o DD recently learned that Roe v Wade will likely be repealed this summer and she is really upset and confused how/why it is happening. With this, all the weird stuff happening in Florida, climate change, and the war in Ukraine she admitted that she’s really stressed out about what her future looks like. Of course, these things and more keep me up at night too, but I didn’t tell her that. We don’t watch the news at home ever, so she’s hearing about this through social media. I told her that we all need to limit the doom scrolling and focus on enjoying the here and now because most of it is far beyond our control. I stressed the importance of voting. Besides getting her offline as much as possible, what can I do? Please, I don’t want this to be a political discussion. It just kills me to see my kid already feeling the weight of the world and I don’t know how to help. [/quote][/quote]
