"In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General has issued a 'dangerous stress' warning to American parents. Knowing that you're in good company—that most other parents are also super stressed—might give you some comfort, but that's not enough to help you manage those feelings."
"To begin with, it's good to acknowledge that we're living in a climate of escalating fear, where every day advertisers, politicians, and experts give us new reasons to worry. And the message is megaphoned up a few notches for parents."
"Your anxiety may be contributing to your child experiencing mental health problems of their own. It's important to pay attention to what's going on for your child and in the world so that you can do whatever needs doing to keep your family and community strong and healthy."
"What I am advocating is that you connect to the love you feel for your child, and do your best to take good care of yourself. Simple, right? Maybe not, but when you're feeling strong and calm, you're in the best possible place to give your child what they need."
