I believe it's not an either/or. Your opiniated views will percolate through everything you do and say, and your kids love and imitate you - at first. They will consume and absorb a good dose of your opinions and you can't avoid it. That's how I feel as a young parent. What we can do is offer them a diversity of experiences and give them some space to choose their own path, but they need our opiniated views to make some of their own - eventually.
