And as they got that little bit older, from the point of view of the religion side of things, we're very lucky our kids love reading and reading.

things like that.

So we had taught them about multiple religions, Greek gods, Norse gods, and explained to them that there's many thousands of options out there, and that it's not our place to pick just one for them.

And that is the way the religious instruction is done in the school, is that they're only taught about one particular person or one particular being, and that's not what we thought was the best thing for them, and they should have the opportunity to learn about all.

And that's how we've explained it to them, and that's how they see that.

So they just go, well, this is about this one particular person, but we can read about 4,000 others.

And that's how we've explained it.

And they've asked kind of normal questions that kids would ask.

It's difficult sometimes, but now we have the out-of-the-classroom option, the exclusion isn't the same.

because they're off doing something else.

So it's very, very different.

And that's why it's so incredibly important for something like that, because they're not back to the rest of the class for 30 minutes trying not to listen to what everybody else is doing.

No, because when you get into the conversations, I suppose this is not necessarily what this is about, though.

You know, what people say to their own children in their own homes is entirely up to them.

like when we explain to them the reasoning behind that,

they find the other option a lot more interesting.

There's some fantastic podcasts out there about various different Greek gods and different things.

They're promoting different things on your radio station.

But they're fascinated by it.

So when they've got other options, they're really interested in it.
