Using "Because" | All The Hacks #shorts
00:00:00.000 | How many times do parents try to get their kids to just tell them about their day,
00:00:03.880 | talk about a problem, and then they pelt them with questions that are really
00:00:07.440 | challenging for kids to answer.
00:00:09.280 | Frankly, sometimes even just saying what'd you do today is challenging.
00:00:11.960 | But if they say, I don't want to go to school tomorrow.
00:00:14.800 | And you say, because that one word will often get them to open up.
00:00:18.120 | It's like these magical phrases that will work in any part of life.
00:00:22.000 | And if you see my interviews, you see, I will just throw in the word
00:00:24.840 | because interrupt someone sometimes.
00:00:27.160 | And because I've done that, they will go into the depth and the reasons
00:00:30.440 | of what they did and why they did it.
00:00:32.160 | And so that's what it's about.
00:00:33.720 | Sometimes it's about asking a question.
00:00:35.320 | Sure.
00:00:35.800 | But often it's not asking a question.
00:00:38.160 | It's just a one word transition that I've handed to them and they
00:00:41.520 | can't help, but use to explain why.
00:00:43.600 | Why don't you want to go to school tomorrow?
00:00:45.320 | It's kind of challenging.
00:00:46.560 | Now they're put on the spot.
00:00:47.480 | They've said something and I say, because now there's an expectation that they're
00:00:51.160 | of course going to finish the sentence.
00:00:52.520 | Because my friend doesn't like me because my friend is moved on to first grade and
00:00:56.720 | I'm still in kindergarten, whatever it is, it comes out naturally.
