I have already raised my kid. There were two things I was determined to do differently.

1. BE THERE my self centered father was just never around.
2. This really a refinement of item 1, supervise and monitor your kids life. People love to deride involved parents by calling them helicopter parents. If you are an adult, you did not get to spent time alone with my kid. The only adults allowed to do that were the teachers when at school. I did not trust any adult that wanted to spent time with other people’s kids.

A dad who was coaching the peewee soccer team, and his own kid was on it, ok. I am still watching you, but I get that.

Some adult whose kid is not on the team… hmmmmmm.

The daycare my kid went to had to have at least two people on duty at all times.
