We've Invented a New Developmental Milestone
Sixty-eight percent of parents say they're interested in talking to their children about climate change. When researchers check back a month later, only forty-six percent have actually done it. Twenty percent have never tried at all. Meanwhile, most young people are already worried about climate—and when they try to discuss it with adults, they report feeling dismissed. So we're protecting children from knowledge they already have, waiting for readiness that never quite arrives. What are we actually teaching them?
