Hi Diana. There are some proposed solutions in the second-to-last paragraph. And, as I wrote in the last paragraph, we need to start by listening to the kids. I've also been writing on this topic for the past 45 or so years and have embedded links to some of those articles.

Indeed, I think that's part of the solution. I hope that some day our society can truly value children and therefore prioritize many ways to empower families.
