Or they're sucked into their screens and they're staying up late at night when they should be sleeping.

So those are like, on the one hand, those are the challenges that I'm seeing regularly.

And then if you pan over to, okay, but what are they thinking about?

That's actually a really tough one.

And I think it depends because

Sometimes, depending on the child, the teenager, they're focused on different things.

So sometimes they're just completely overwhelmed with everything that they have and they are getting sucked into escapism through enjoyment activities like video gaming and screens and the social connection through that.

Other times they're completely preoccupied with their future and their GPA and have unfortunately bought into the hype that we're all giving them about the limited amount of schools with the very low admission rates and the need to be at these schools with a very high GPA or they're not going to have a good future.

So I just threw a lot out there, but those are the themes that I'm seeing so far.

And then again, I guess one more thing is, unfortunately, when you have children who are anxious or depressed,

they're just trying to get by.

Right.

And then it just becomes about a day-to-day situation.

Oh, great question.

I think ideally, it would be about them learning to step into themselves and being able to learn about who they are, what they care about,

be able to explore their interests, learn skills like time management and planning.

I mean, those are all really important things.

There would be an emphasis on meaningful work as opposed, you know, quality over quantity.

And there would be, I would say that the evaluation process would be meaningful at times as opposed to more factory-based work.

And finally, it would be a time where people are excited and have time to figure out what's next as opposed to being anxious about what's next and feeling like they might not have the possibilities or the opportunities that they would want because of all of the stress related to grades and transitioning to college.
