Trust in the eternal refrain “the kids are alright”.

  Mostly second on this. I've heard the phrase "if you're worried about it and trying to do the right thing, then your kids will be fine" and that has helped ... assuming I can manage my anxiety properly!

  This sounds nice, but headlines like “Suicide Rates Among U.S. Adolescents Doubled in 10 Years”(https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-05-01/suicide-rates-among-u-s-adolescents-doubled-in-10-years https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-05-01/...) give pause.

    I doubt it's from screen time though. More the loss of family values, higher suicide rates within others they know, and the fact that kids who don't good grades are probably going to have to work two jobs for most of their lives and never retire.
