How can we better prepare our kids for the future when so many feel anxious, due in part to the lingering effects of the pandemic? Research shows that when we give kids access to opportunities that foster recreation and group engagement, their resilience muscle is strengthened and they feel more optimistic. By investing in the tools and resources kids need to thrive today, we can help the next generation face the future with confidence and compassion.
