And I think respecting those cues is really important because otherwise you're just sort of hammering away at something and it's making it
less likely that they're going to listen.
So they're having these short ongoing conversations is just so key.
with somebody about the, the, um,
how well she's able to speak to her kids when she's not looking at them.
And it fascinated me.
She said, that's why it works well to have conversations in the car because they're not watching your reaction and they just tell you things that they wouldn't usually tell you.
And I thought,
brilliant, we need to take more car rides in our house.
we can have a very, very special episode of the Amanda show.
this one actually strikes me very personally too um we switched school districts years ago not you know more years ago now that i can say it wasn't just recently but not like too long ago
And one of my sons had had such a difficult experience at the old school that he just didn't trust teachers anymore.
And I thought that was very valid, actually, from his experience.
So one of the things we had to do was let the teachers at the new school know that, you know, explain that his reasoning was valid, ask them to give him some time to feel respected and safe enough to trust them.
So that was really important.
And, you know, knowing a new school, you know, I always think it's important that the things that we talk about, you know, taking a tour of the school, knowing where things are.
Those are always like key and important.
And I think things that parents think about anyway.
But I think just that emotional tour is important too, to think through what a new school looks like and what new friends might look like.
For me as a parent, the one thing that I found was really key was to give my kids a safe place to be that wasn't around school.
