So I want to make sure this isn't just a an issue with kids who have learning differences or processing speed issues, but also for some of those high achieving kids who are like, I'm done.
Five AP classes and like,
I just don't care about life anymore.
It can hit a lot of different kids in a lot of different ways that what looks like a super motivated kid can become an apathetic kid because they're like, I'm overwhelmed.
Yeah, totally.
And that's why I like you mentioned at the end of every chapter, it's like what to think about.
It's really what the parents can think about.
And a lot of times it relates to their child, but also to us.
And that our they're watching our journey as we're doing it.
So if we have a life that's not filled with a lot of pleasure, how do we expect them to find pleasure in their lives?
Most parents will say to me, almost.
When I asked, what are you, what are your expectations for your child?
I want my child to be happy.
But yet we as parents aren't always continuing our quest for happiness at the same time that our children are we're putting this pressure on them.
We want our kids to be happy.
Well, you know what?
Maybe we should be working on ourselves a little bit more about that and figuring out what gives us pleasure because that's a role model too.
We think about, oh, it's important for us to be reading so our kids develop a love of reading.
We also need to be tapped into what's making us happy.
And not just our kids are making us happy, but what is it that we loved and what is it that we could be doing?
