Once mine hit about 8 they started asking questions, and were very excited to receive answers that weren't the droning Woke catechism they receive at school. Its easier than it looks. And then there are friends, family and possibly church mentors.

I also try to teach them where they can pirate long-form books and journal articles to find evidence-based but unfashionable expert opinions on their own. I've been less successful in that, they prefer asking peers or Youtube :

( But maybe once they're teenagers...? Or maybe no one today has the pre-internet boredom levels required to read?)

That's the thing, the fact you can have these thoughts prove you would be a good mother lol. Your able to have empathy for your child.
