We estimated the effect of parents’ educational attainment on children’s depressive, anxiety, and ADHD traits at age 8 years, in a sample of 40,879 Norwegian children born in 1998–2009 and their parents.

Over the last four days this has been my mantra. I’m not really one for manifesting things, in all honesty even the idea that “the trail provides” is one I struggle with. But I have found myself muttering, yelling, weeping the phrase “be brave” over and over again. Hiking up Haystack at 3:00pm in high heat. Be brave. Thunderstorms on Butternut. Be brave. Having to make choices that I don’t love. Be brave. Day 1: A Trail Name SticksI began my hike at the Northern Terminus on July 5 at around 3pm.
