I think it's one of the hardest things you can do, right?
It feels so personal to people and people feel so vulnerable to being judged.
But I mean, I think one of the best things you can do is just be like a positive support system for the kid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, find ways to spend time with the kid, be a good role model for the kid, like give the kid an outlet.
Mm-hmm.
I think you can also just be like, hey, are you talking to someone?
Like you seem to be struggling with anger.
You know, there are probably some gentle ways to give feedback that don't feel so hard to hear.
Definitely.
And I think it's generally good for kids to have caregivers with different styles and just to see like the variety in how humans relate to each other.
Like that's a learning experience for a kid.
So if you're seeing a negative style, then maybe you can be a positive compensatory force.
I would say first, you matter.
You can make great contributions to a kid's life.
