And this is how kids develop.
They they go through stages when they are struggling with some new challenge and they need support often to to figure it out.
And and that's our role.
It's not that we're gonna always have perfectly behaved children.
It's to always be constantly supporting them and
helping them tackle these challenges.
One of the most startling findings in my book was the figure that one in two children by the time they're 18 will have some kind of mood or behavioral disorder or a substance addiction.
And to me, that was just stunning that every other kid in my child's preschool class by the time they graduate from high school will have something pretty serious that they are managing.
And I hope that it's actually a hopeful and optimistic statistic because it sort of normalizes when your child is going through something, whether it's ADHD or anxiety or some kind of brain difference, that you're dealing with one challenge, your neighbor's probably dealing with something else, and we all are in it together.
Absolutely.
I and I I also want to start by saying obviously this is very hard for parents too.
Like it's not it's not so easy to to go through a day with a child who's highly emotional or has difficulty with transition or who isn't cooperating in the way that you need.
And I just want to acknowledge that, you know, these are really big challenges.
And one of my goals with the book is to offer some kind of community and and support to parents who feel like this this is much harder than I thought.
You know, and and it is.
It's harder now than it than it was in the past.
The tools from the past don't work anymore.
So
I'm hoping that this new framework, these new eyeglasses, as you say, will help people to
you know, have a little more courage to deal with the challenges.
