And so the science of action is important, yes, for that sense of agency, like we talked about, for parents as well, but also because it actively changes your brain so that you can manage the stressors better.

The age of the child.

The age of the child.

The age of the child.

The lifespan, meaning depending on the age of the child, you have different stressors, of course, right? You've gone through the parenting journey from birth to now all of your children are in their 20s. I don't know. I know your daughters are in your 20s.

Because you, again... it is very easy to say, okay, this is just how it's going to be. I'm going to be stressed out of my mind for the next 18, 25, 30 years, right? Like they say, you have 18 summers with your children. I've seen all of those social media, the funny videos of, you know, people being 45 and dancing saying, oh, my parents are on the 45th summer. And it's really cute. But
