I just showed up at the Children's Museum twice a week, playground every day, hours of just him talking and me being present and just rephrasing. You know, what does that tell a child? Yes. Absolutely. And then as I saw this happening explicitly, there are attention span Just skyrockets when you are that present. The way they are mind, you can just almost see their minds open up to the world. It was something I did intuitively with kids. We don't have to have this our entire lives. We need doses of it though. But especially as brains are building, it's that live feedback data that's so critical to building your brain.
