End of school year brought on a very interesting lesson learned. 6yo had a play to perform in. 2 days before the play daughter started acting differently. We thought is behavioral things so we didn’t dig much. A day before, daughter doesn’t want to go to class. Mmh, that’s rare. We take her home with us. At home we’re told she’s nervous about what’s happening the next day, which is a play. Day of play arrives, we thought we somewhat addressed the issue. Daughter goes into class with less hesitation than previous day. Moment of play arrives, daughter is crying walking onto stage (with entire class). Teacher pulls her off stage to help her calm down. When we meet up. She was sweating through her clothes. We immediately realized she wasn’t being a scared kid, she was having stage freight. She later told us she was looking at all the people and thinking, what are they going to think or say. This is #1 fear after death, public speaking.

Public speaking normally only hits us when we get older. What kids experience before that is fear of unknown, the primal survival of death, its when we grow a societal consciousness that it converts into public speaking. From the me to the we, us. An additional connection was how much of the announcement of openAi and the general development of language interfaces play into this idea of public speaking. I have taught my kids to use ChatGPT in voice-mode and I unquestionably notice a difference in my kids ability to ask questions to “strangers”. She even orders her own food at restaurants now. The 3yo is even more bold, which is the case of the younger sibling. The 3yo rocked a 6yo b-day party just the other day. Music came one and she was like “yo that’s my jam, peace” and hit the dance floor. Yeah, AI language interfaces is going to unlock a slew of societal problems to be solved. Building at the intersection of durable needs.

Huge thank you to @adrienne for some parenting advice she gave me a few months back on how to handle anxiety in our children. She said something that caused me to look at my older child a little differently. Since then I’ve been able to understand things about my kids I was previously blind to. It’s been a hell of a journey since but her advice has brought me closer to my family. That’s some Farcaster only stuff for sho.

Won’t be the last. As they get older the steps get bigger and sometimes it gives the illusion they aren’t making progress. But they’re growing and learning resilience with each challenge. Give her a big hug and tell her your friend from farcaster is proud of her 🫂
