Especially when I've been working really hard and, you know, in the White House, I'd say, okay, well, now we have a Sunday and we have these hours and I'll have like a grand plan, you know, and we're going to make it count. And it's going to involve, you know, hot chocolate and sleds, you know, whatever, whatever it is that like my great adventure, that we're going to go play mini golf.

And then I come down all psyched up, all ready to go. And the kids have zero interest. And there have been a lot of times where I've been like, we're doing this thing. And then I realized, wait a second, you know, like sometimes you just like plop down on the floor and start playing magnet tiles. Mm-hmm. you know, and like, that's where they need you.

And so, so those of us who have sort of like alpha personalities who sometimes it's just, just witness, like witness what they need. Don't like play with them and allow them to lead the play. Don't, force them down a road you may think is more interesting or productive or educational or edifying.

Just be with them, observe them, and then show them that you are genuinely curious about the things that they are genuinely curious about. I think there's a lot of love when you do that.

I think there's like, when it gets physical, that's like, okay, we have to intervene. I know you're into martial arts, but... But that's normally like the red line, you know, once it tips into that. But there is always that, you know, like you have to allow them to problem solve for themselves. Like a little interpersonal conflict is good.

It's really hard when you try to navigate something because everyone thinks you're taking their side. You have oftentimes incomplete information. I think for parents, what tends to happen, too, is we see our kids fighting with each other in a way that all kids do, and we start to project into the future and catastrophize. If my two sons are going through a moment...

where they're like oil and water. Anything one wants to do, the other doesn't want to do. It's like a very interesting moment. So my instinct is, they're not going to like each other when they're 25. You know, you sort of project into the future as opposed to recognizing this is a stage that I too went through and it's normal and it's not building it in your mind into...
