Never let the automatic pilot control you.

When someone takes a bus for the first time, it's all magical, but when the person starts to take the bus frequently, the magic experience slowly goes away because the person is not aware of its environment anymore, it's the automatic pilot controlling them.

If the person becomes conscious again, the magical feeling comes back instantly.

I remember some months ago when I was in a place with other relatives and this dad was scrolling his phone, then his daughter came very happily and showed him a drawing, and he said in a boring voice: "cool", and started scrolling his phone again.

Therefore, it's important to always be conscious/present in the moment.

If the son says he wants to do or be something big, don't mock him and don't say stuff like: "we're just an average family", "that's impossible", instead, encourage him.

Also, everything you promise, do it, even if it's the most simple thing in the planet.

And let him play with dirt and in nature as much as possible, and walk barefoot.

I'm a father of 5 and I know what I'm talking about (just kidding 😂)
