It's too hard.
Never intentionally saying that, but that's the message the child gets when we rescue them.
We love to say to parents, what are two things you're doing for your kids right now that they can do for themselves?
And what are two things you're doing for your kids that they can almost do for themselves?
Even if it's filling their water bottle, packing their backpack.
Letting them get their driver's license.
Encouraging them to get their driver's license with some good support and challenge.
What are things you can do right now?
We do a lot of parenting seminars.
And I would say eight years ago, probably, we started talking about kids who weren't getting their driver's license and parents who would say, well, my child's not emotionally mature enough yet to drive a car, which think back to 16.
I mean, you might have been more emotionally mature than I was, but I think most of us weren't there.
And it's the milestones that help us move forward.
So it's so important for them to do those things.
And I would add for the benefit of kids, there's more pressure around everything there's ever been.
I mean, to ask a girl to homecoming, to ask a girl to prom, you know, now they call it promposal.
I mean, there is more perfectionism and technology is certainly contributing to that with girls in particular than I have ever seen.
And so I do think there's a part of I can't do it like everyone looks.
All the influencers I'm following, I'm never going to look like that.
So why would I even try?
There is certainly a piece of that.
