As a parent, it’s so tempting to wall off your negative emotions from your kids. And man, there’s so much stuff out there to be sad about. But today Meg Raby is arguing that’s a mistake: “Sadness cannot, no matter how hard you try, be escaped. Our kids will be sad. Our kids will see sad things. Our kids will also see their parents sad. To avoid stories and information that most likely will leave our child feeling sad, in my opinion, leaves them to live in a make-believe world and misses brilliant opportunities to navigate sadness together.” Definitely don’t miss this one. I think it’s a really important piece. Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
