So often I and other parents think about one side of this equation.

We think about the idea that when something happens,

bad is happening.

We want the immediate reassurance that our kid is okay.

And at the same time, this immediate reassurance we want can actually interfere with the process of ensuring that our kid is okay.

And

I can tell you myself, I've never, mercifully, none of my kids have ever been in a school setting with a real, true, instant emergency.

And for that, I'm eternally grateful.

But I just look at sometimes these very real problems.

urgent elemental need that parents may have could be butting up against this very real urgent elemental need that we also have to help to ensure that a crisis is averted.

And I don't know that I don't have a good answer to that.

Thanks for having us on.
