Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous day. Well,
if you're a parent, you are your child's personal chat
GPT only less wrong or also less right. According to report,
the average parent with your young child feels about forty
six questions per day from their kid. That Now, this
is an average, so I'm guessing that maybe if you
have a fourteen year old, you might get one question

(00:22):
a day, but other parents with inquisitive three year olds
might get like forty three hundred and ninety six questions
a day most of the time anyway, that questions aren't
that difficult. Parents typically find themselves they can answer about
three quarters of the time. Thirty five percent of the
time they don't have an answer, like where do dreams
go when you wake up? Ninety one percent of parents

(00:43):
believe it's important to foster your child's natural curiosity and interest.
They do want them to be aware of their surroundings.
The average parent tells their kids to be careful about
twenty seven times per day. Seventy seven percent of parents
believe their child is more curious than they were at
this age. And you know, if it's more than the
third that you don't know the answer to that child's question,

(01:04):

caffeine can make you feel more alert, but eventually you
reach a point where you just need to pull over
and sleep. Five ways, there's too much coffee will make
you a worse driver. First of all, poor decision makings.
Adding caffeine when you really need sleep can actually make

(01:47):
you more anxious and affect decision making skills. Tremors over
stimulation to your nervous system can cause your hands and
legs to shake, slowed reactions. A little caffeine can make
you more alert, but too much causes over arousal and
delay reaction times. Visual disturbances. Too much Caffeine can make
your eye muscles twitch. Also makes it harder to focus
you lead to rapid blinking and blurred vision headaches. Caffeine

(02:10):
constricts the blood vessels to your brain, which helps with headaches,
but that's with a lot of headache medications too, So
if you drink a lot of caffeine every day, it
can backfire where your body adapts. Your blood vessels get
used to being tighter than normal, so when your caffeine
level drops, you get withdrawal headaches. Driving with a headache
is in fun or safe? And I got one more
for you. How about the fact that a lot of
