Throughout my experiences in education, writing, inspiring others, hosting international talks, managing a business, and facing life’s challenges, I constantly find myself asking the critical question: What about the children? What time is it on their clock of well-being and achievement? After all, we are all invested in the outcome through legacy.

Think of the young man consumed by violent video games, losing touch with reality. Picture the parents who see their child as lazy and disconnected, unaware that these behaviors could be symptoms of deeper struggles like depression.
