And we have a question from Amy S. who talks about a four and a six-year-old children she has and how she lets her children roam outside of her home and often gets reactions from neighbors.

and soon would like to see them go to the park two blocks away by themselves.

And her question is whether you have thoughts on how a strategy, a good strategy for a safe solo crosswalk, especially for kids on scooters.

But I guess this is a question both for how parents can help their kids cross safely, but also what can communities implement to make this a better experience for everyone?

I love the idea of the cards that it feels like it's such a smart, easy way to to help this process for everyone.

Right.

Well, you know, there's so many challenges that we're facing in this time, you know, connected to technology.

The world is just changing so rapidly.

What gives you hope that we can raise a generation of more confident, independent kids despite all the things going on in the world?

Well, Lenore, we are out of time.

And I feel like we could talk for so much longer about this.

So I understand.

Truly, we didn't hit on all my questions.
