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.
