Sometimes it can be helpful to ask the devil for advice. So you know what not to do. (:
But humans are… human. And make mistakes. Even humble ones. That’s not meant to sound doom and gloom. Mistakes are opportunities to learn. Not something to be afraid of.
That’s one of the most difficult to teach children. If only because it is difficult to model - it can be difficult to do.
Do you really think YC is full of the best dads? (Honest question, I don't have the data to know for sure, but tech-obsessed workaholics probably aren't the best role models)
How about developing yourself, perhaps through books or other material focused on cultivating core parenting skills?
The fact that you are humble enough and care enough to ask here is definitely a good sign! <3
Patience and consistency are key.
