That's so great.
Yeah, and also if you can give like my son has taken notes at our family meetings and so uh w at the time they're able to
To write.
That's a great little job to give somebody in the family, to be the note taker, to really feel like they're part of it.
Yeah, we sure did.
It's something that people it really gets people talking.
And so the idea is really to not rely on rewards and punishments that punishments are kind of easier to um convince parents away from because they can make kids feel shamed.
And usually when you punish somebody or, you know, let's say time out is one of the most common.
um forms of punishment or taking something away.
And we we actually think that calm down time is really useful.
So if time out is is reshaped or takes on a new face in our book because we think that taking a moment to calm your body down, if you do it with the right intention, is super helpful.
So
Time out versus calm down.
But in a punitive way, when you're harsh and punitive, kids don't really learn from punishments.
They you know, human beings don't really learn from punishments.
We just become shut down and and the creative problem solving parts of our brain kind of shut down.
So that's a little bit easier to convince parents to to try to avoid.
But parents are very I mean
rewards are just a part of our culture, I feel like it's and it's not that we think that it's a terrible idea to use rewards.
We just want to shift people from thinking about the whole point is not that we're trying to shape behavior.
