“Let your child decide their own values.”
As if they enter the world as blank canvases who should “figure it all out” for themselves.
As if you’ve lived decades on this earth and have nothing of value to pass down.
As if being “judgmental” (having values and standards) is the original sin of parenting.
This approach doesn’t honor children—it robs them of their birthright.
Your child doesn’t just need a chauffeur and a babysitter who keeps them physically safe while offering endless empathy.
They need a guide who has:
– Wisdom from life experience
– Cultural heritage and legacy
– Values that create meaning
– A vision for what makes a good life
When we refuse to “inflict our judgments” on our children, we’re not being progressive—we’re abandoning them to reinvent the wheel of human wisdom from scratch.
It’s like having a million dollars but refusing to share a penny with your child because “they should earn it all themselves.”
Your convictions, your wisdom, your moral compass—these aren’t impositions.
They’re inheritances.
