But the most freeing thing is to be able to recognize that my kids are individuals on their individual timelines and that I need to support them based on who they are and not who I think they should be.

Yeah.

tricky, isn't it?

And it's interesting because you did send me some questions ahead of time, and I started thinking about that one.

And I thought about how my answer would be different now.

So I have an elementary child still, and then I have one in high school, and then I have one who's college age.

So it's ridiculous, right?

So my answer would have been different.

with the older one and the middle one than it is now.

And, you know, I'm a former teacher and I'm a parent and I'm sort of always of the opinion that the first contact between parents and teachers should be around something positive, right?

I don't think a teacher should ever have their first contact with a parent with a phone call that says, you know, something went really badly.

And I also think parents shouldn't have their first contact as, I need you to know something about my kid, right?

I think that there's this balance because you can set everybody up for success or you can set them up for failure.

And in some ways, I think that that summer conference idea has the potential to set people up for failure because of sex expectations of who your child is.

And they may not be that once they get into the classroom.

So, I mean, to that end, I think it's sometimes better to do an introduction letter than to set up a meeting.

And that's actually one of the resources we have on Understood.

I think I may have written downloadable introduction letters that you can sort of fill in and send out.

And it's something a lot of parents and kids do and not just parents of kids who are differently wired, have ADHD, have all of these things.

So it's not an unexpected thing to do, to send a letter.
