And that's just the time to slip in there and remember to be a good friend to yourself as well, you know.

Um, and that there's some good books out there for kids on how to be a good friend to yourself.

Just and just one last thing if you'll indulge me.

Sure.

Uh empathic resonance.

So for instance, you know, autistic kids, a lot of people say that they don't have um a lot of empathy.

It's actually not true.

They don't have the ability to perspective take.

It's hard for them to do theory of mind and do mind reading, but they're very sensitive to other people's emotions.

And that's part of why they shut down because they get they're so sensitive and they get overwhelmed.

And so basically

You you feed off your child's emotions when they're upset and distressed, you feel upset and distressed, right?

And

They feed off your emotions.

So if you're frustrated and upset with yourself, they're feeling that.

But if you give yourself compassion, you know, so so with Rowan, you know, he was like a mirror for me.

When he was younger, we'd have these ear splitting tantrums.

And I would find if I got frustrated or overwhelmed, his tantrums would just ramp up.

But if I could give myself compassion, if I could say, this is so hard for me right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I'd like to say kind things to myself, I'd put my hand on my heart, I'd kind of flood myself with this loving, connected presence.
