So I wanted you to come today and share with us a little bit about what you're seeing and how you feel like this is actually an attack on young families and our young children.

Mary Ann BradburyGUEST
You know, because you and I talk a lot, and so you know that one of the things that I think we see in our world of children today is that we are seeing children that are stressed, and we're seeing children that are of all ages that seem to be in a state of anxiety.

Mary Ann BradburyGUEST
And I really think what we have to understand is that there really is a war in our culture on children.

Mary Ann BradburyGUEST
I don't think that we stop and think about that too often, but there is a war in our culture for the hearts and minds of our children because of what's going on in our culture and because of the fact that we are so controlled by social media and technology.

Mary Ann BradburyGUEST
And that just seems to be getting more and more prevalent with the introduction of AI.

Mary Ann BradburyGUEST
But I think we have to go all the way back to almost the beginning and realize that there was a war in heaven.

So as we're trying to equip parents, any different advice for a weekday program director or a classroom teacher to help them educate parents, to help parents relax, maybe even in what they're expecting at a preschool?
