Are the lights in our kids' eyes on?
And a lot of us have these bright-eyed kids, and when they get to early adolescence, preteen adolescence, it starts to fade.
And it could fade for hormonal reasons, for social reasons, for academic reasons.
But really, it's about trying to sidle up next to them physically or actually metaphorically and help them figure out what is going on in their life so they can keep stepping in a direction that they are engaged in.
And it could be a job.
Sometimes jobs I've seen with kids, like that job becomes their place when their school situation is not that great of a place.
Or it's their club.
Or it's their cousin or their aunt or uncle.
So I feel like, again, I'm focusing it back to it's really about our kids learning about who they are in the world and being able to step into the world with some choice and with some empowerment and
And if they can do that in a healthy way, it really, I don't think, it doesn't matter what direction they go because they're building those essential ingredients to health and wellness, which is I have choice.

And even in the most difficult and darkest times, it is a part of overall development and it's a part of the story.
