I'm still a kid. Despite this I would say in all honesty the fundamentals in life are so often are being passed up by the parents of today.

surrounding your kid with love and affection, even if in good faith, can be exhausting to the senses of the brain of the recipient of your attention.

The act of compassion can easily be mistaken by an overbearing parent.

How would your advice translate to a different world than the one you were raised in? For example, what if the child found themselves in a situation where they were starving, and their security network was no longer sustainable, or the underlying value of such advice was simply not applicable to a world outside of what you knew?

Not sure if I'm making much sense here but there is something that translates regardless of environment: the golden rule. It is not good, nor bad, it just is.

You want to be treated like an asshole? Be an asshole.

You want to be treated like a queen? Be a queen.

This also leads to the next lesson in life: we all have our own values.
