That's right.
And um in the book what I urge parents to do
And I imagine that many of the listeners of your podcast do far more than this, but
I urge parents just to take ten minutes a day to to have an essential conversation and it doesn't even no, it mostly might not even feel like an essential conversation, but
Um, the reason I suggest that is because I was shocked when I looked at the
results of the American Time New Survey which
ex ask parents and people how they use their time.
And one category of time use is uh talking with children.
And what I found that was so shocking was that eighty percent of parents
didn't even list talking with children.
as a category by which they spent their time.
And I'm sure that's not because they don't say anything to their children, but it's because mostly you're talking with your kids when you're trying to get them to eat or to school or to other you know, get ready for bed and things like that.
But
The good news was that of the twenty percent who did report
time spent talking with their children.
They reported more than half an hour a day.
However, on average that comes to three minutes a day across the population of parents.
And I think if everyone took just ten minutes uh for an essential conversation, maybe not when you're doing something else primarily.
