Yeah, absolutely.
So uh
The most empowering thing I think a parent can do is to let their child know underneath it all that they trust that their child has good instincts, is heading in in the right directions, and is competent and resilient.
I hang on those words for dear life because I I think at the end of the day, when our children are 17 or 18 or 22 or 22,
twenty four, 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 you're on the right track, and I have faith in you that things are gonna work out.
You know, 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.
Um I'm gonna track you on the portals, I'm gonna reach out to your teachers, I'm going to uh track your phone when you go out.
Not that I'm against that altogether, but I think that can be disempowering at times.
Um, anything that tells our kids, I don't know if you've got this.
So I'm gonna be a manager here.
I'm gonna be the general contractor, and I'll be controlling your life behind the scenes.
Uh I'll be texting and and emailing your teachers or your coaches, and I will be right next to you at the job and
Interview so that you never really feel empowered to do anything on your own.
And then when that child leaves the house at 17, 18, 19, or 20.
that child might have difficulty.
