Been there, tried that. Kids are on their own time and have their own priorities. Especially when they're little, that kind of approach might even seem like it's working and then they just randomly get distracted by something else.
so what would be the solution?
taking notes 👀

the ultimate learning opportunity? learning from your own creation 😂
am I the only one enjoy seeing stackers chipping in parenting hacks, and I'm surprised that there isn't any parenting territory yet
reply
I thought about setting up a parenting territory, but the 100k sats is a risk I m not willing to take at this point in time
reply
For some reason, I thought there already was a parenting territory. I'll think about putting up the sats for it.
I got beaten to ~econ when territories launched and nothing else struck me as being worth founding, but parenting is definitely something I care enough about.
reply
I think parenting is one of the most important topics in life - how to nurture someone to be a good person and passing down knowledge.
~econ is cool, but it's out of our control, yet we have so much influence with our own kids 👀
I said this because I can see how much influence my parent had on me

How many children do you have, mate?
reply
Just one, so far. We'll see if that changes.

0, like I said feel free to ignore all theory parenting from Natalia 😂
but that wouldn't stop me from taking notes from experienced ones:)

Honestly parenting is about raising individuals. Everyone’s experience will be same same but different. So your opinion is as good as mine. And @Undisciplined’s opinion is as good as yours. But it is through such candid sharing that the insights will simmer in my head n let me know what is the best way forward for my situation. (As opposed to swirling like a whirlpool)
@Undisciplined you have no idea how comforting your words are to me - sleep-deprived after my baby girl woke me up at 5. “Kids are on their own time” - simple n profound. Kinda cheesy but I’m feeling grateful for your words. I will say this to myself every day haha

I appreciate you sharing your parenting experiences. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds them very relatable.
