You know, and even though I know all this stuff, but this – I'm a parent. Like, this is what we feel. Yeah. And so then the second day, we were just a little nervous. And the third day, not at all. And that was it. We never tracked them again. So the let grow experience. So if you do it in a school, imagine all the third graders in town are doing this.

So beginning of September, you see a whole bunch of eight-year-olds walking to the store. And maybe they're together and laughing or maybe they're alone. And once you see a lot of it, you realize like, oh, okay, I guess eight-year-olds walk to stores now. Nobody's seen that since 1992. But if you do it as a community, suddenly you change the norms in the community.

That's right. We have to be more deliberate, and so that's a good point. I was emphasizing, like, you can do it yourself as one family. It's better if you do it with a few families. It's best if you do it by the whole school. However you do it, I had thought before, and I sometimes say, you might even go talk to the chief of police and say, what do you think about this? We want to do this.

Do you think this is okay? Because if you warn the police ahead of time, and they're probably going to be supportive— If you talk to them ahead of time, then there's not much risk. You know, if some nosy neighbor calls the police, they're going to say, it's okay, we know about this. But I haven't thought of talking to the shopkeepers. So that's a great idea.

If there's a store that your kid can walk to, talk to them and say, is it okay if I send my kid in here? Oh, they're going to love it.

I could just say just first, if you don't have kids, there's a whole chapter in the book on spiritual degradation. Yeah. All of us are feeling it. It's affecting us all. So the book, I hope, does speak to all ages. So there is a movement brewing around the world. I love it. Parents are sick and tired of this. They are revolting. Gen Z is sick and tired of it. They see what's happening.

They are revolting. So even though this problem seemed insurmountable a year ago, what we're finding is the will to solve it is so widespread that people are coordinating. People are acting together. So if we act together, I think we can beat this. I think we can restore a fun, exciting, play-based childhood in time for your kids.
