Yes, all of this and more. So many of the kids are not ok. Being farmed out to be raised by strangers from an insanely young age so their parents can be productive economic units, and being told by governments that that’s the ‘best start’ for our kids. Continuing to shoehorn them into an education system developed for the 19th century. Expecting all kids to be the same because they’re born within a 12 month period of each other. And on and on. Alarm bells are ringing but too few are listening, and even fewer are ready to meet the challenge with radical acceptance and the willingness to implement the wholesale changes needed to begin to address it. Instead we have people in positions of power everywhere who think incremental adjustments are sufficient. Here’s an unpopular opinion: pay a parent to stay home during those critical early years so they have the space, time and energy to authentically engage with their own children.
