Misc PhD's in parenting GTFIH

As the father of a 1 year old child I only want for him to be raised as competently as possible to be the best he can be.

About to go down the rabbit hole of all Dr Gabor Maté content.

Is this the way?

Jumping into this thread.

I’ve been thinking a lot of how I want to raise my kid, the type of father that I’ll be, what I want to teach them and how I’m going to them.

Leading by example is the most obvious. But being a strong leader in all facets of life, and especially at home is really important.

Kids are gonna be who their gonna be, and if you decide to choose a non conventional way of parenting (to today's standards) then you better make sure the mom is in board 100%

I'm not a PhD and only have one kid who is 1.5 years old myself, but fwiw I think the way to be the best father you can be is to remember that your role is to provide protection and guidance so your kid can grow up be who they want to be. Help them figure out who that is.

Too many people think your role is to raise your kid into the person you want them to be. It's not.

Definitely be a good role model, but I don't going non traditional parenting ideas are really worth considering.

Solid. Also kids have a funny way of always wanting to do the exact opposite of what you want, try too hard to raise a "real man" and end up with a Kaitlyn Jenner, try too hard to raise a nun and end up with a Kaitlyn Jenner.

So try hard to raise as a degen = CEO 10k/day?

I can't be bothered watching the video. But I would say the most important thing I ever learned and the one bit of advice I would pass on is that kids come out destined to be a certain sort of person and beyond extreme cases there is not much you can do about it. The sooner you accept this and learn to love the kid you got instead of the one you wanted or the one you expected, the happier both of your lives will be.

It's more of a listen to while cleaning the house thing.

I strongly disagree. I would say the opposite is true though. Extreme cases people born with certain "disabilities" will be pre destined to go down a certain road. I believe nurture has a strong effect on outcome not only nature.

For example, child soldiers, jihads, etc were nurtured into being that way. I highly doubt these same children/people would have become such raised in a happy home.

Thanks to all for the good advice but I think I'm just going with this.

It's a fine line brother, and they will get alot of their influence from their outside environment, noone has the answer.

There's a poem I can't think of that describes parenting as us being the bow them the aarow, you aim and shoot hoping it lands true






Edit:

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Sometimes it feels like many times men only find out why their fathers were tough on them until they have their own children. You never know if you were a good parent until your kids are on their own and self sufficient.

- Would you rather have your son be a failure, homeless druggie, but says he loves you.

or

- Have your son be a success, self sufficient, and well adjusted, but says he hates you?

Well I only have a sample of 2. But they turned out to be extremely different people and I don't think much could have stopped them becoming the very different people they are. With one of them I fought it for ages (because I thought life would be harder for him on that path) but that fight achieved nothing and once I accepted it we both ended up in a much better place.

wow! im only at 2:05 and he talks about babies crying, and how that is the baby picking up stress from the mom. When my niece was a newborn all she did was cry, cry. I said thats not healthy. 14 years later, for the 3rd time she was just put into a long term facility....my entire family is not "normal". Myself and my sister never had a good upbringing because of my parents.....and it shows...

What kind of childhood trauma leads to grown men wearing so many bracelets and rings?
