That's so beautiful. I think that actually is the essence of what our kids need from us in hard times, because when our kids are having a hard moment, and again, their hard moments can seem small to us because they didn't lose a lot of money. It's actually just that they didn't get invited to a slumber party. But in their world, that's the same feeling.

And so when we're in our low point, someone's ability to believe that we're feeling that way, but also see a more capable version of ourselves than we can access in that moment, what feels better than that combination? Nothing.

So I really mean this as a true question. When you asked me how to discipline a child, tell me more what you picture.

Part of the work I love doing with parents is sometimes when we're like, well, like flesh it out. What do you mean? And what really matters? Like we tend to like hear a lot of our own solutions. But OK, there's a couple of things here. Number one, again, going back to our job, such our role. What is our role? I believe a parent's role is very akin to a coach, right?

What would you do if your kid is not making layups? And do we feel, let's say even a kid is making layups. My kid is a great basketball player. They make layups. But in this game, they missed every layup. In the next game, they're missing every layup. I just want to know if any of us are thinking, what kind of consequence do I need to give this kid?

That's right.

That's right.

It's really interesting. As a parent or coach, you might be frustrated and be like, what the heck? I know this kid can make a simple layup. There is nobody even guarding them and they are missing layups. They're not even putting them up against the backboard. We might be frustrated. But if we heard ourselves or a coach say, look, I am going to have to take away your TV time.
