Your children will eventually see you as human, realizing your flaws and struggles, so it's crucial to work on your problems to avoid passing them on to them.

It's important to recognize that children can feel pressured to meet their parents' emotional needs, which can lead to unhealthy dynamics in their relationships, as it becomes their job to care for us.

Don't do too much for your kids; let them do things on their own to build resilience.

You shouldn't artificially impose hardship on your children; instead, cultivate an appreciation for what they have by demonstrating gratitude yourself.

You need to let children struggle and deal with responsibilities to help them grow and gain wisdom.

When you have kids, you can say no to things you don't want to do, which helps you focus on long-term success and decisions that you'd be proud of if your kids saw them.

Children often unconsciously take on roles in their families, such as the hero or scapegoat, which can lead to difficulties shedding these roles later in life.

One of the advantages of having kids is that when you give advice to people, you can ask yourself what you would tell your own kids, which really focuses you.

Being present for your kids is crucial; they just want your time, and that will be what they remember most.
