Recess time. I get milk and cookies. Um, And then all of a sudden it's like, hey, this kid's different. And then girls are really good at doing the psychological. Like they're more mature and smarter than us at that age. And they take it to a whole new level sometimes. And, you know, whereas boys might just be more like, oh, look at you. You're weak. You stink.

you're fat, you're skinny, you're tall, you're short. And anyway, so getting ahead of myself here, but yeah, I do think that, you know, we got to also work on how do we address the bullies. And I sometimes think if we look at them as sadistic, you know, Machiavellian psychopaths, you know, Matt talk about the triad, but, um, Anyway, that's Matt.

It can, you know, that poop rolls downhill, so you're good. Get some of the – get brought up in a – you know, the bully mom or dad or takes out on the kids. It certainly is that aspect. That's where we start saying, well, what's going on in the home?

But again, we get a lot of these kids that – you know, so there's the – certainly those are the severe ones that have these kind of issues who actually get off on that. And then there's the ones who, yeah, what kind of life are they having at home or, you know, their parent, older sibling – Uncle, aunt, somebody they maybe look up to who treats them that way or kids in the neighborhood.

So, yeah, and you get the bullies who are bullied who can often be dangerous as well because they're not only on this end of it when they're on this end of it. And we really have to look out for kids like that and what's developing through learned and internalizing. But this is where I think David actually is going to be talking a lot about

So, yeah, and you get the bullies who are bullied who can often be dangerous as well because they're not only on this end of it when they're on this end of it. And we really have to look out for kids like that and what's developing through learned and internalizing. But this is where I think David actually is going to be talking a lot about

in this because what I love about David is like how freeing it is to with some of the techniques and the way we look at it and kind of putting the ego aside because I think that's where we all kind of get tripped up in this insecure and poor self-esteem and oh I want to do anything I can avoid to draw attention to myself and people are going to make fun of my zit on my nose or make fun of my shirt or

You know, all the things that kids can pick out and all of a sudden something even that we thought like, hey, I really like this shirt. Now it's like, oh, gosh, this one kid made fun of it. Other people laughed. And this is the dumbest shirt ever. Why did my mom buy it for me? She hates me.

Thanks, Matt. Yeah, so, and then I was thinking to get back to kind of, you know, how do we help kids who are going through this, right? Because we know most of us when we're, well, throughout life, but certainly in middle school and high school, we kind of feel self-conscious. We want to fit in. And it can be kind of devastating when all of a sudden,

Because we know most of us when we're, well, throughout life, but certainly in middle school and high school, we kind of feel self-conscious. We want to fit in. And it can be kind of devastating when all of a sudden,

Our peers, a friend who we thought was a friend or just, you know, other kids at the school who are maybe more popular or tougher or all the things that could happen. And then we just feel like, oh, my gosh, you know, and we can get kids start having more headaches, wanting to refuse school, grades dropping. Yeah.

You know, and those are some of the signs for parents, like what's going on here, you know, because like I said earlier, is that sometimes, you know, kids will tell a teacher or a parent, but nothing really happens. That doesn't stop the other kid from doing what they're doing. So, you know, but then also that kids, when it comes to that, so secret, they'll tell all of us.
