So oftentimes what I'll do is we'll sort of talk.

We'll have these conversations with our kids and parents will be blown away.

So you have a kid who plays too many video games and then we'll sit down.

We'll ask them, OK, what do you like about the game?

Well, I like, you know, playing with my of my friends.

And it's so sad because I really feel for these kids as someone who's a gamer.

Right.

Because parents are like, I want them to play for one hour a day.

And I'm like, that is so terrible.

Right.

It's kind of like the whole point of of of gaming is you don't like do it for one hour a day.

Like you want to like play until you're satisfied.

It's like, hey, I'm going to take you to a baseball game.

We're going to go to two innings a day.

Absolutely, right?

So I'll tell something to these parents and I'll ask them, you know, talk to your kid about what they like about gaming.

And then they'll blow my, you know, their mind will be blown, but then we'll develop a plan of like, okay, what does your kid really want?

And what we come up with is, okay, this is what you're going to do.

These are your responsibilities.

Every day, you're going to have an activity.
