Many, many, many times parents have said, wow, this was different, or wow, we avoided some unnecessary suffering at the very least.
So in honor of those parents, step parents, foster parents, all the people that we've been working with over the years, you know, we wanted to bring the best of what we've learned to the everyday family, including, you know, what to say to kids when nothing seems to work.
Absolutely.
Yeah, with pleasure.
I can use one that I've used very frequently, both in the school system, in my clinical practice, but also at home.
So one of my kiddos has a learning disability.
And so, you know, when I write some of this content, it's not just as a professional, it's also as a step parent.
And one of the scenarios that I really like to talk about is when a kid comes home and says, I hate reading, or I suck at reading, or, you know, something along the lines of homework.
But if we use reading specifically, we can move through those different steps, if you think that's a good example to start off with.
Yeah, sure.
Sounds great.
Okay, so let's imagine a child who is differently wired comes to us and says, I hate reading.
We want to first build a bridge.
So building a bridge is a mental exercise.
It can take half a second.
It can take 30 seconds.
But the idea is to imagine the child in their world saying these words, where is it coming from?
When I put myself into the world of a child who's in elementary school or in high school, and they are differently wired, and they say, I hate reading, what I've learned, what I've come to hear is, this is really hard for me.
It's very frustrating.
It doesn't give me pleasure, confidence, self-esteem.
