Evidently, my first response to my mom was, I didn't know y'all did that anymore.

So it's just my sister and me, 16 years apart.

And she has a seven and a three-year-old.

And when her oldest was four, we took him to Disney for the first time.

And it's so scary.

If you haven't been to Disney with a toddler.

And I didn't think through that.

And we were at Pirates of the Caribbean.

And we were going down through the tunnels and the dark and twisty.

And his little face was getting more and more stricken.

And I got down on his level and I said, Henry, a little bit scared, a whole lot of fun.

And so that became what we said all over Disney that week.

A little bit scared, a whole lot of fun.

We said it last week about something else he was trying for the first time.

And so I think helping kids understand not just they need to do hard things, but there's reward and there's good and there's confidence and competence and capability and all these things that come from doing hard things.

So having some statements that we anchor ourselves to with kids can be really helpful.

Well, we love there's some psychologists who say all behavior is communication.

And we love that statement.

And so even the child who's a menace, there's something happening inside of them that they're saying I need.

And it may be I need you to be bigger than I am as my parent.
