Because nobody can get anything done.

So I think kind of looking at your own parenting style, the best kind of parenting style for kids with this slower pace is to be flexible.

And truly, that's always the best anyway in any parenting style.

And I think...

Sometimes that's why I think this topic resonates with a wider group of parents because everybody's sort of feeling frazzled.

All parents are feeling like I can't get my child to get everything done that he's supposed to get done.

So there's a lot that's applicable to lots of parents, you know, regardless of what their child's cognitive profile is like.

But I think being able to be flexible and know sort of instinctively, okay, I need to slow down because I need to match my child right here at this time.

Or that, nope, you know what, at this time, I'm going to need to push him a little bit and we're going to have to figure out how to get that done.

So not every day is going to be the same.

At the same time, you want to keep things as consistent as you can.

Because, you know, consistency breeds efficiency.

But, you know, but you can't be rigid.

So...

Right.

You know, because they're constantly being confronted with the fact that they're disappointing us.

And especially for those of us like I have to say, I have the same sort of pattern as you.

I have a son.

He's now 22.
