“I am filled with hope for the generation to come that will once again be given permission to delight in a cloudless ski, a tender playmate, an afternoon of joy to swing upside down among the leaves. For a growing movement of children who will dance without TikTok. Who will live and love without commentary. Who will smile--widely and freely--without a filter. And I am filled with gratitude for the bold, brave, and unapologetic parents who will point their children to the heights of presence and admiration and innocence that Silicon Valley can never scale.”
