00:00:00.000 I would not ask my kid to be any different than they are.

00:00:02.380 If my kid was sitting there and absolutely in f***ing rage and angry and beside themselves,

00:00:08.060 this is literally what I would do.

00:00:09.500 First off, I'm sitting below them.

00:00:11.340 I will f***ing sit on the ground if I have to.

00:00:13.740 I'm not doing anything other than I'm here with you.

00:00:16.080 The problem is most adults are never taught to hold space for anybody.

00:00:19.160 They can't even hold space for themselves.

00:00:20.440 That's a f***ing problem.

00:00:21.300 If my kid wants to sit there in rage for 18 hours,

00:00:24.440 I will be here and I will f***ing hold that space.

00:00:26.620 As a man, as a father,

00:00:28.300 because guess what the adults and the therapists won't do and what you end up teaching them is

00:00:32.700 that there's nothing wrong with them i'm not trying to fix you there's nothing wrong with you

00:00:36.480 you're growing into a young person and you've got these big movements of emotions i'm just

00:00:41.000 going to be with them i wish somebody would have did that with me
