I didn't say that.
I said, when your mind wanders, because it's going to wander for sure.
Just bring it back.
And not doing that with the added story, the added reactivity is so important.
Yeah, no, I think it is.
It's practice, it's strengthening.
So the first thing to say is that this brain system of attention is one of the slowest to develop.
We don't fully develop this capacity until we're about 25.
And one of the reasons is it relies on the frontal lobes, which are the slowest brain region to develop.
So, you know, it does kind of drive me nuts sometimes.
And I feel for parents when they're, but when they're not happy that their children aren't paying attention or their response is pay attention, it's not going to help at all.
And in fact, understanding that that's the thing that is, it's your child is not not paying attention because they don't know that they should often.
It's that they don't know where their attention is.
just like we are saying we don't know.
Wow, that's good, that's good.
So I think that the thing to really, and by the way, yes, absolutely, there's a huge enterprise of offering mindfulness training in a developmentally appropriate manner to children as young as preschool.
Really?
We can do these in very useful ways for children, but what you're having them cultivate is not just focus, focus, focus, it's where are you right now?
You know, where are you in a friendly, self-supportive way?
And is that where you want to be right now?
