Did you instead learn these things?:
• exercising that power could lead to you losing a skill
• doing so is bad
• you don't have the power to choose your own course corrections when you notice a skill waning
Based on your suggestion that children need to be controlled, I think your experience was limited and too short.
I don't even know if you're arguing in good faith, because your second dot point isn't really a thing that even a child needs to learn.
I'll also thank you not to suggest that our differences of opinion are due to your superior understanding of my upbringing.
And I don't assume to have an understanding of your upbringing. That's why I was posing it all as questions. The points I made are things I think can potentially hinder learning and are commonplace in society.
Teach them to tap into intuition, ask (not demand) for help when support is needed, and learn how to learn.
