Now girls, especially, I'm guessing it's a daughter you're talking to.
It's my daughter.
Yeah, so girls especially want to talk one-on-one or in a very small group.
And they talk on the phone for hours.
That's great.
There's no problem with that.
It's because it's actual connection.
But what's happening is that once your daughter starts texting,
And once she gets onto group texts, now it's gonna be the whole class.
It's gonna be 30 people.
It might even be 200 people on this giant group text.
Now you're not really connecting.
Now you're performing.
And if you say something wrong, everyone's gonna laugh at you and then you're anxious and then you're worried all day long.
So real connection is great and technology can facilitate that.
I'm not against all technology,
FaceTime is fine.
Telephone is fine.
Yeah, that's right.
