I see it.

I live it.

I hear it.

So I think a lot of it is you're going to replace the phone.

Don't just remove it, right?

So connection fills the gaps.

Phone leaves, which is something you are great at, Sean.

We've talked about this.

Family walks, games, cooking together, reading out loud, right?

Empty space invites scrolling, right?

And that is how I feel.

When my husband's on the couch and scrolling, I'm like, oh, is there a space I could fill or help you fill right now?

And if he's like, no, I just need 10 minutes, whatever it is, right?

But I want to make sure that that filled space invites connection rather than just leaves it plain and empty and dry.

You will scroll, they will scroll, right?

And I think so much of it is to repair when it slips and not add shape.

So if you go back to the things that really matter in our generation, no shame would have gone real far in parenting.

Right.

It would have saved me a lot of therapy bills, probably, you know, repairing teachers resilience.

Do you know what I mean?
