And then there are people who are making small talk.
Right.
And it's the small talk that I feel like parents are so worried about.
They're like, well, what do I say?
Right.
And so a lot of this worry about living up to a cultural definition of success, and that might be your family's culture.
It might be your country's culture.
It might be your community.
But a lot of that fear comes from what do I say when people talk to me about this?
And I deeply understand the balance of representing your kid without sharing too much because they're a teenager and they don't want everyone to know about their life.
But also speaking your truth enough so that people understand that that's not your plan.
That's not your path.
And the perspective I have on how to start dismantling this reminds me of how people and you may have had this experience to how people talk to you about your kid being ready for kindergarten.
So somewhere in elementary school, this didn't happen to me as a parent.
It was like, everybody's just in elementary school.
No one worries if you're behind or ahead or whatever.
But whenever you go to kindergarten, lots of small talk about where are you going?
When are they going?
Are they old for their grade or young for their grade?
Like all that business.
