There's a lot of like, you know, graduated steps.

Parents suck at this.

And the reason they suck at this is because they're not willing to let their children fail.

Yes.

Right?

So, I mean, we'll do things like, it's like, you know, mom is saying, hey, like, did you, you know, you have to take care of your paper.

Is your paper done?

Yeah.

And then we'll come up with different kinds of rules.

Like if you get a C, it's like zero hours.

If you get a B, it's this much.

If you get an A, it's this much.

And then something really dangerous happens, which is parents have a really big disadvantage, which is that they love their kids.

So kid comes home and gets a C and parent says, okay, no more gaming.

A month into no gaming, kid hasn't gotten rid of a C, right?

Because semesters happen every three months.

But now the kid is working really hard.

Now the kid is like, you know, working on their papers and they're studying.

They got an A on a test.

Now kid comes to you and says, hey, I got an A on a test.
