being a parent has been done to death. hundreds of thousands of morons have raised kids and we are all fine. drop the books, drop “consensus” (do you REALLY want your child like all others???!) and just be there, just be there and be a dad

Not sure I agree that we are all fine.

Back in my school, teachers would beat up kids because it keeps them from becoming drug addicts. So the definition of fine back then was "not a drug addict". If you were ambitious, it would be "graduated from college".

		Stops the teachers from becoming drug addicts? A good bit of HIIT to fuel their dopamine I guess!

		Ironically, drug addiction is often related to early life trauma.

there 8+ billion of us, not all can be fine I agree. my comment was just a general principle that we overdo and over think parenting. BE THERE and use common sense - that will take care of most of what your kid needs.
