Well, that's the thing is a lot of my friends have older kids. And so some of them actually have phones already. He's like, well, so-and-so's got a phone. I'm like, well, it's not you. Well, it's not you. Yeah. Sucks to be you. It's hard. It's so hard. There's so much. And it's so different than how I grew up, you know, and how so many of us grew up. Because we didn't have all of this stuff.

For me, I also think I'm lucky because I live in Florida where I can use the old adage of, I don't care what you do, just get outside. You can do something outside because that's what we like to do with my kids. They're very active. They're obviously when they're in school during the day, five days a week. When they're done with school, I get them in all kinds of activities.

Both of my kids do jujitsu. Oh, amazing. Which for people who don't know, Brazilian jujitsu for kids is incredible. It is.

Yeah, my five-year-old's a girl and my seven-year-old's a boy. And they've both been doing jujitsu for maybe three years now. Wow, what an awesome sport. But it's actually great because not only does it teach you kind of body control and obviously self-defense, but there's a respect aspect of it.

You have to be respectful and cognizant of your, you know, the instructor and your coach and the people with whom you're fighting because it's all, it's all part of it. They're basketball, football, soccer, gymnastics. We do all those things. And in my mind, I think back to when I was a kid and I was very involved in sports and activities. And I actually think it kept me out of a lot of trouble.

And the same with my brother, I would say. Screen time, they get, if they have a great day at school, 15 minutes a day. Right on. That's it. And if things are not perfect, then no screen. And parents are always like, well, my kid throws a fit. I'm like, okay, we'll take it away for a week. And the next time they start to throw a fit, you can remind them that you took it away for the week.

It's a bit of tough love for sure. But I think we're all trying to do our best with the kids these days. And I think we're all learning as we go because it's all so new. I feel like we're existing in a new space and there isn't much to guide us. We're having to figure it out, but I know what worked for me.
