wives of ministers need encouragement and refreshment in the Lord, and we find that hope and help in the gospel.
“When you affirm kids’ natural inclination to regard their challenges as sui generis and all important, when you fail to tell them that their own grandparents survived hardship, you strip them of the ability to place their own suffering in context. You divest them of the one bit of empirical proof they have that their genetic material is resilient. You cut them loose of the familial web, one of humanity’s greatest sources of meaning. You force them to see their problems in isolation and to face hardship, alone.”

“professionals would blunder in, lodging themselves between parent and child: therapists, teachers, educational and parenting experts, psychiatrists, and even activists—anyone with an opinion about a child they may have just met and for whom they have neither love nor responsibility. None of whom bears the slightest consequence of their bad advice.”

“How could the experts have missed a mental health calamity so obvious and foreseeable? Parents protested; they were largely ignored. The mental health–expert complex, with all its institutional heft, declined to offer so much as a public warning to policymakers about the impact on kids.[48] Perhaps they didn’t know the lockdowns would be devastating to the young people they were uniquely responsible to help. Whatever the reason for this colossal failure, there’s something perverse in their subsequent attempt to use the pandemic lockdowns to wave away the treatment-prevalence paradox, or—worse—to argue for their greater role in public policy development and the lives of American kids.”
