How do you cope with eco-anxiety as a parent?

Hello,

I have two young kids and lately, I am having a lot of anxiety and sadness thinking about how the current climate crisis will affect them.

I also have regrets because I decided to have children while knowing about the climate crisis. At the time, I was optimistic, but no so much anymore.

It has been hitting me hard the last few days. How do you cope/deal with this as a parent?

Thanks

If you look at rising heat and cold deaths every year as acceptable then you shouldn’t be having children.

Could you quote the part where I wrote that death is acceptable? I keep re-reading my comment and for the life of me I cannot find it. I’m sure it’s there though because I trust you wouldn’t lie about what I wrote just to make a point. Right?
