Socialization, starting to cooperate, starting to actually think of other people, which really they don't do that till after teen years, but we start trying to get them to think about empathy and other people's needs or concerns. At two and a half? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Not that they can fully do it.

I mean, their brains aren't quite there yet, but we have them, especially if they're working toward a common goal in a game or as a class, you tell them, hey, we're going to miss game time if we don't get through warmups. Like, oh, okay, we better, hey, you straighten up. You know, they'll kind of look at their teammates and be like, we got to get it together, guys.

They remember a lot and there are certain positions that they, they can do really well. They remember more than you think they're sponges at that age. So they come into my five and six year old class already having a pretty good base and, and I would say much better core strength than a lot of kids their age.

Uh, so we kind of help them step through those developmental milestones that they would normally hit, but we're focusing on that and adding that we have a life skill component to the program as well. So they're talking about things like this month, the life skills leadership. So they have a little story. They talk about the word, the idea they think about it.

Can all of them say that word or know what it means at the end of the month? Maybe not in that class, but the five and six year olds, I would say yes.

Well, let's I'll finish Michael's question first. They asked what can make the kids more comfortable. Having a friend in the class is certainly helpful. If you have a kid that's really shy, they can also I've had kids watch class on the side.

So just getting them dressed, having them sit on the side with their parents, sometimes for two weeks before they're ready to step on the mat or maybe they just do warm ups and come back off. But they have to know they're not going to be forced to.
