We're the first to go through and raise people in these circumstances.
And I think it's fair to say, you know what?
Sometimes I'm going to need a little consultation on this.
I don't think I'm always going to be able to do this on my own.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
I love when parents seek each other out.
Yeah, absolutely.
So the most empowering thing I think a parent can do is
is to let their child know underneath it all that they trust that their child has good instincts, is heading in the right directions, and is competent and resilient.
I hang on those words.
For dear life, because I think at the end of the day, when our children are 17 or 18 or 22 or 24, if they move out of our house and they go on to their next adventure and we can say that person is competent and resilient, they're capable and they know it and they can handle a difficulty if it's thrown their way and they know that.
I'd say that's a pretty solid parenting win.
So if that's the vibe that we present to our kids, that I'm not sure that this test is gonna go well, but I know on the whole, you're on the right track and I have faith in you that things are gonna work out.
And I think that's a vibe that parents can give their kids pretty readily.
I also think it's a vibe that you can extract pretty readily.
You know, I think the more we try to clamp down and control our kids, whether that that is, you know, show me your homework.
I'm going to track you on the portals.
I'm going to reach out to your teachers.
I'm going to track your phone when you go out.
Not that I'm against that altogether, but I think that can be disempowering at times.
