At one point in, you know, when kids are younger, everybody's just who they are and it's no big deal.
And then as they get older, everybody wants to be not noticed, right?
And then as they get older again, they're taking on that identity.
And I think it's really key to remember that kids just go through sort of these phases of feeling confident and not confident.
And the more we can point out that everybody's just their own person, the more it helps kids to just feel okay about being who they are.
And that's why I'm a really big fan of sort of talking to your kids about who you are,
as a parent, not as a parent to them, but as a person, who you are and how you feel about who you are and what you wish you could do differently or what you do really poorly.
For example, my husband may say, I have a little bit of the road rage when I drive.
So I think it's important for my kids to know that this is not a strength of mine.
Talking back to traffic is really not my best move.
But it shows them that as a person, I have things that as a person are flawed, things that I don't feel good about, but that I have other things that I feel really strongly about.
I mean, it's a tough thing.
It's just so tough.
I and I think it's I think you hit it on the head with that ongoing conversation piece.
it's not one conversation.
It's a conversation over your child's lifetime.
And it depends on, you know, their ability to, where they are in their lives and developmentally, that conversation may be really short.
And it doesn't have to be a long conversation.
I mean, we know when kids aren't interested in talking anymore, right?
We can tell that they're just done listening, they're done talking.
