Something I found very interesting/important in the book that you skipped over was the bit at the very beginning where children were asked what they wanted from their parents, and rather than asking for more extracurriculars or later bedtimes or anything like that they said that their parents seemed stressed/sad and they wanted their parents to be happier. I found that very lovely/compelling.
Ah, this is so lovely and true. In retrospect, I also want my parents to be less stressed and sad when dealing with us or other things when we were kids. Seeing parents stressed and worried (for whatever reason) always broke our hearts.
