I think if you have access to Scandinavian (probably Norwegian or Danish?) articles, they tend to be pretty succinct on what happens without being too fluffy.
Food! Everyone has to eat, unless they are super picky, maybe it could be a small starting point. There are also miscellaneous hobbies/things like board game cafes or something the whole family can do together.
When I was that age though I was kind of an ass, but it was mostly because my opinions/thoughts were trodden over by my parents. So everyone recommending listening/talking/showing interest is 100%.
It's an incredibly lucrative land for minerals and such, they already had to give Denmark a slap on the wrist for screwing over the local Greenlandic population.
Problem is you can't escape what's been set in motion, only delay it. It's creeping in everywhere, corrupting it all. Sooner or later we will have to face it collectively and it's not going to be pretty.
It's largely a non-issue in the Nordic countries as you basically have to voluntarily opt out of any government aid programs to be homeless, which understandably most don't. This goes for most, if not all, vulnerable groups; most of the help is decently robust, at least enough to keep you fed and in housing. So I don't think it's a very large portion of the consideration, almost everything is paid via mobile pay, checks (any, not just from working) are all done digitally as well.
110 is hot but I feel like for TX/AZ/CA is not like... freakishly hot. Way back like 10? years ago we (CA) had a random summer that was like maybe 112 on the worst days? Even 100°+ days in summer hasn't been uncommon for a long time. I get that it's bad because global warming is happening but also they're all pretty well equipped to handle heat, it's just the fires that fuck shit up.
