So we have that background.
And then what we'll do is we'll take, we'll literally take a second draft of a script in a protocol format so that each researcher will sit on the floor with kids and say the script in the exact same way.
And read the script in the exact same way.
And then like for Blue's Clues, we'll play the games that you'll play on the show.
And we'll record what's going on with the kids.
We'll observe what they're saying, whether they're interested, whether they're getting the concepts that we literally want to set out.
We have an intent to teach.
So even though it would be after one program, we want to know that kids are taking away a strategy for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood or really cognitive learning skills from Blue's Clues.
And so we look at that.
And then we're constantly going back in, especially in a development process, so that we know that there's a difference sitting on the floor with kids when we're reading this script and playing out these games than when it's actually on television, when it's on a screen.
And so we'll test it at different stages when it's on a screen as well to just make sure that we're maximizing the learning benefits of the program.
Yeah.
And then in the meetings that we have afterwards are kind of, you know, they're really, really, I was going to say argumentative, but there's this like, there's like this intense love and vision for what we want to put out to kids.
And so we'll spend, I mean, the researchers spend so much time in the groups and then debriefing about what's going on.
And then we'll
Sit down with the executive producers and the writers and with the research team and talk about what it is that we can do to make sure that the scripts are better, that we continue to really kind of push the limits of what kids can do and what they need to know and how they need to see it all the way through the production process.
In a lot of ways, I make my job harder for myself because, you know, I get consultant feedback.
I get feedback from, you know, anybody that's in that particular area of interest that we're writing about as well as kids and our research all the way through.
So it's really an engaging, interesting, and sometimes really difficult process.
Yeah, and we want I mean, I definitely want to know what everybody is thinking.
