Got into a wonderful conversation with @coachcoale whom I have the pleasure to call coach and friend. Got into parenting. My views were the most important thing a parent could do is “get the hell out of the child’s way”. For example, a hypothetical, my child wants to jump from the top of a counter, I can nip it in the butt, I can reluctantly help her, or I can be a cheerleader, egging her on, helping her realize she needs to push a chair all the way over there, turn it a certain direction, climb that chair, cheering, or I let her curiosity roam wild till she learns to ask questions, and I stocratic method her. The last two are maximum “gtf out of the way”. What are others top level “importants”?

It’s fantastic and if I were a parent, I would use so many of its perspectives as a North Star for decision making. It kicks you out of western “achievement” mindset, which I think is HUGE for raising kids. He references a few parenting situations from his own life with kids.
