That they have less infrastructure, they have less control over their own lives.

If you and I are having a bad day, I mean, there's nothing stopping us from going to the airport, buying a plane ticket, and going to Aruba.

You know, an eight year old can't do that.

So we need to think about what are the supports and how do we give efficacy and independence to kids to gain some control over their own lives.

So what we're gonna talk about is in terms of sort of sort of tiers of this.

So one of the things that kids

And people sort of in general, but we'll focus on kids do is they use what we call replacement language.

So the classic example of this is you have two siblings they're fighting, and sibling A says to sibling B, I'll kill you.

Right?

Now I have two younger sisters.

I've certainly said that to them on occasion.

Um we're all in our thirties now, so not recently so much, but you know, uh but I tell you if they took my Legos one more time, uh

But so if we responded to the content of that, you know, I mean there'd be far more police calls, far far more nine one one calls.

So it is not uncommon to hear kids and teens say stuff like, kill yourself, or I wish I was dead.

Right.

Now it's important as adults who care about kids, and this is parents, mental health professionals, teachers, coaches, da da da da da da da.

We respond to the content, we also respond to the process, right?

When is this coming up?

Does your kid say, I wish I was dead every time they have a spelling test?

Right.
