You're absolutely right! I feel like sometimes you need to pull your kids in the direction you think is right for them. And I think if a parent does a really good job at explaining why things are the way they are and at giving their kids a good understanding of right and wrong, then those kids will figure out a lot of stuff on their own very quickly.

I just see two extremes way too often when I go out:

  1. Patents who let their kids do whatever and don't establish themselves as a figure or trust and guidance.

  2. Parents who take it too far into the other direction and force their own beliefs on their kids, maybe even passing on their own trauma.

Neither one is good imo. But also, keep in mind that sometimes (young) kids just ask questions to get a certain reaction out of you lol
