I've been thinking about it.
What I could have said was, geez, I can imagine why you wouldn't want to go back to school tomorrow.
Because one, because two, because three, I believe in you.
I'm here with you.
Let me help you develop a plan.
So that do-over, it can be just as powerful as getting it right the first time because you're telling your kid, I really care about being my best parent self for you.
I really care so much about that interaction that I thought about it.
I went back to it.
And here I am, you know, trying again.
And that means you can too.
Exactly.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
And what we're doing is a form of validation.
I do hesitate to use the word validation, not because it's not 100% accurate, though, because there are so many different definitions out there of what it means to validate that in the early days when I was working with parents and I'd say like, oh, yeah, try validating their feelings.
They would say to me, oh, I do that all the time.
And I was really confused because I thought, gosh, it goes against our culture to do this.
you know, in such an ingrained way, it's kind of surprising to hear that.
And then what I learned was that they, they were saying something like, I can understand you'd feel sad, but, or they were cheerleading.
And so I actually did a Google search recently on the word validation.
And I looked at Google images and there's an image where a woman says to a man, um, the parking lot attendant, and he says, will you validate my parking?
