And you see some of these, you know, five and six year olds that they have so much to share.
They want to share their thoughts and their feedback.
And, you know, some of these students, you ask a five year old, what advice would you give to a three year old?
And they could start their entire podcast.
But there's no opportunity for that.
It's just like go from worksheet to worksheet, practice your literacy, practice your numeracy, memorize facts.
And it's important, but...
a lot of those students really struggled by not having opportunities for all these other skills and talents, primarily just like sharing their thoughts about what they're learning, sharing their feedback, being able to lead discussions, being able to act things out, do plays, talk about what they think is important, what they think is not important, how it impacts their life.
All those conversations are not really happening on the younger level.
And I think that some children are not ready for that, but some children are really ready
dehydrated for it.
There's so much emphasis on the concrete learning and they're really dehydrated for, you know, ask me about my experiences with my brother or what it means about relationships or love or family.
Like you see some of these children that have that, they really struggle by not given an outlet for it.
And sometimes the stretch from first grade to third grade could seem like forever just getting through until the classroom starts becoming a little bit more dynamic.
And one piece of advice that I would give to parents that are going through this is that they should never underestimate the power of their child feeling heard and received and the power of a real, genuine, loving hug and love.
So often parents, especially now with the internet, they go online and they educate themselves.
And it's so important.
And they get super involved in the advocacy.
And they have 25 books on the subject by their nightside table.
And they're super tapped in.
