Children in an age of Anxiety

Children in an age of Anxiety

We live in an age of anxiety. Our young people have the unprecedented role of trying to make the world a better place, and yet many do not see that their children might have a positive role in this. Our young people are worried about the climate, and the way the planet is suffering as a result of deforestation, and damage to bio-diverse habitats, and do not want to bring children into such a world; one where their children will suffer from a similar anxiety to the one they suffer from.

Yet we live in a beautiful world, and there is so much hope for the future and improving our world and environment.

The best days of my life were those spent with my children. Children, as individuals, enrich our lives, especially when we read to them, play with them and take an interest in their hobbies and innate talents.

Yes there are tough times, but it is worth it.
