Good to know

And, and I think, [laughs] you know what, what I really started to discover bringing this work, you know, w- again, I got so excited about mindfulness.

I was like, "I'm gonna teach kids to breathe.

There's gonna be world peace in five years." And it's like, okay, you know, that was 20 years ago, can see how well that worked out.

But, like, really realizing that where I can make the biggest difference, you know, the, the good news and the bad news is with ourselves, right? That, like, if we want more mindful kids, what we need to do is surround them with more mindful, compassionate adults, right? This is co-regulation.

This is interpersonal neurobiology.

This is mirror neurons, right? There's so many ways that we can have the language as emotional contagion, right, for understanding that actually our nervous systems are always consciously and unconsciously communicating with everybody around us, that truly the best way to share mindfulness with kids is by practicing ourselves.

W- with the, all those recommendations, what do you think about those?

Yeah, I mean to me, I think, like, you know what we're...

Our son had a watch, um, like a Garber Gizmo.

He just upgraded to an Apple Watch.

He's 11.

Um, I'm actually a little bit disappointed 'cause Apple products are so easy to use, and then, like, the Apple Watch is actually surprisingly complicated to use.

It's really been kind of frustrating.

Hmm.
