We can’t control our kids; we can only influence them.

Really a nice thinking! You're doing a great job by teaching parenting to everyone here.
I always pay attention to the details, because as I am getting near to be father, I think I need a lot of upskilling in this respect. Grateful to you!

As a bitcoiner, you're well aware of the power that knowledge brings to decision-making.
You won't always navigate every situation perfectly. The essence of effective parenting lies in reflecting on these situations with your child and guiding them towards better outcomes in the future.
Try always not to dictate your child's life by habits, and let life with your child unfold naturally.

Are you in your 20s? At least that’s my mental image of you. You certainly sound wiser than me!

Thank you for the flowers, @cryotosensei. I'm in my early 30s, and my son is about 5 years old now. Parenting is one of the most crucial aspects of life for me. I've spent a lot of time reflecting on my past, observing how my parents shaped my habits, and recognizing both the helpful and frustrating aspects of their approach.
Over the years, I've come to understand one crucial fact: there exists a narrow window of opportunity to establish "primal trust" between you and your children. In Germany, we refer to it as "Urvertrauen." If you don't invest in building this trust during the early years of your children's lives, it may never fully develop.
In my case, both of my parents worked hard, pursued studies, and built a house during my early childhood. As a result, my grandparents played a significant role in caring for me during this time, sometimes even more than my biological parents did. 30 years later we still get challenged with these trust issues between us. Nevertheless, I believe that having different individuals in your life to compare and learn from is crucial as a child. There's a german saying: "Für die Erziehung eines Kindes braucht es ein ganzes Dorf" (For the upbringing of a child, it takes a whole village).
By the way, I can't accept the "wise" compliment; I have to push it back to you. That's why I subscribed to your content :)
Keep up the good work!

Someone wrote here before that our job as parents is to screw up our children less than the way our parents screwed us up.
Joking aside, I think it’s commendable how you dug deep into your childhood n decided to break the cycle that would otherwise have persisted if you have not been self-aware enough

Saw this on nostr, thought you'd enjoy it:
The word "bid", in lowercase letters, is vertically symmetrical,
but the word "BID", in uppercase letters, is horizontally symmetrical.

Agreed; parents can only influence their kids.
That said, until children turn 18 and become adults they still need to listen to their parents.
