I don’t have kids yet, but I’ve given the topic some thought. My approach is basically “don’t repeat the mistakes of my parents, but don’t oversteer in the other direction either”. Goals: - foster curiosity while providing stability - don’t shove down my understanding as absolute truth, but discover conclusions together with them to a) align (which I think is very critical) and b) set them on a path of robust autonomy. I don’t want my kids to become dogmatic, because I don’t believe in dogmatic people. I don’t think of technology as an important tool wrt parenting. Parenting, to me, is about trust and alignment, while technology is an extension of the self. Accordingly, kids should only have access to tech as a means to help them grow. When the time comes, I would read into the topic of dopamine and make sure not to be irresponsible wrt fast media exposure for early-stage developing brains. I would not subscribe to predefined styles of parenting. Advice of the past has rarely proven useful in environments subject to immense change, and I think that parenting is such an environment.
