I'm thinking, Holy smokes.
So we had a lot of time 'cause she wasn't in school for three months and and you I remember going on this long walk and she was just beside herself, you know, and and just just so upset with herself and life and everything else.
Yeah, I looked at her and
must have been the best long view, you know, courage that I could have.
And I said, look, you know, you are a terrific person.
You're you're kind and you're curious and you're thoughtful, you're really sh funny, and you're really sharp.
And I said, you're gonna have a great life.
It she said she said, Well it sure doesn't seem that way.
And I said, I know it doesn't.
I said, But yeah, for at least on this one, I want you to trust me because I have a little more experience than do you.
Все.
thing that I did uh made a really conscious effort during that time and I would suggest this to any parent who has a kid where like school is harder, life is harder, that hand that they've been doubt is is hard.
To make it your highest possible priority just to love the kid that you got where he is, where she is right now.
Because if we think a little bit about, you know, this constantly this slowly developing pre-functional cortex and those executive functions that we want to come online.
The great Adele Dime makes the point that if you're sad or lonely or tired or stressed, those executive functions are impacted first and impacted most.
And so we can't really help our kids grow up faster than to grow up.
And there are a lot of things that are hard to solve, but we can certainly tackle that of helping them not feel sad and not feel lonely simply by giving them the sunshine of our love.
And that does all these things.
wonderful of course for our relationship, also for the executive functions.
And thirdly, really to help them have the energy to go off and develop the lives for themselves that they want you to have as much as what they want to have as much as we want them to have.
