I love the part about us being entitled to PURSUIT of happiness, rather than happiness itself. Now, we also need to understand and help our kids understand that happiness is not the same as pleasure and comfort (pursuit of hedonism?)

Thank you! Will be driving alone with her for a couple hours in a few days. Bonding galore!

Yep. In order for them to listen to and trust us, we have to listen to and trust them.

It IS good to get them away from screens and into their bodies though, to the extent practicable.

I'm guessing you know about Gabrielle Clark's success with Miss Clark and the program she developed from it, but just in case: https://twitter.com/GabsClark5/status/1526960805413064704

Also, your recognition of your entitlement to the pursuit of happiness, rather than a guarantee of fulfillment. Truer words...🙌🏻
