[quote=Anonymous]I ask because I don't always feel this way, and I want to. I worry a lot, about all kinds of things, and sometimes it's hard for me to just have this faith that it will all work out in the end. I think to be the kind of parent I want to be, I need some of this. I worry about the state of public education, the high cost of college (and the challenge of getting in), the problems with mental health that seem to be getting worse, and so many other things. I have a lot of faith in my child as a person but I also look around and think about how hard it's going to be to navigate all this, and also feel unprepared to navigate a lot of it as a parent. Not trying to optimize my kid's life or snowplow all problems. Just worry that I won't be able to adequately prepare my child for a world that I don't even know what it's going to look like by the time my kid is grown. Anyone else feel like "it'll all work out" and have some words of wisdom for me? [/quote]
