Yeah.

So the main thing that we've sort of discovered is that parents adopt a strategy that is very high friction.

And there are ways to get what you want from your kid without having to fight.

And I know it sounds crazy, but just hear me out, okay?

So, and this is because I'm a gamer.

So one of the things that infuriates me as a gamer is playing one hour a day.

That's like a waste of time.

Because one hour a day is just when you're getting started.

So what I really love doing and what a lot of gamers really love doing is binge gaming.

And so oftentimes what we find in our community is when we have parents of like teenagers, for example, you just ask them straight up, what's the most fun you have in gaming?

And the most fun that I have in gaming is when I'm on, all my friends are on and it's like, let's go one more, one more.

You can't quit on a loss and you can't stop on a win.

which means that you have to play one more.

That's what's really fun.

Like I have memorable times when I was growing up where we were doing that.

So even asking your kid, hey, would you rather play one hour a day?

Or would you rather play six hours on Friday night?

I will order you a pizza.

You can stay up as long as you want to.

You can sleep in on Saturday morning.
