I took up tennis because of my kids. I rollerskate because (I fucking love it, inexplicably) it's the only "sport" my niece enjoys and none of the other adults will do it (helps that I fucking love it).
There was an interesting quote by Frank Zappa, along the lines of: treat your kids like adults, not property.
Here we are:
“The first thing you have to do if you want to raise nice kids, is you have to talk to them like they are people instead of talking to them like they’re property.”
Explain your reasons to them, even when you think the concepts are above them, and they will understand the effort, attention, and the body language if not the exact meaning of the words.
If they can understand the world you live in, the more likely they are to be compatible with it as they grow up.
