People who love their children share their passions with their children. That’s when the greatest talent is forged.
I see a lot of kids developing great talents for Martial Arts, music and Shooting because their parents enjoy sharing it with them. That even works with archeological digs and great literature as well. One friend of mine is involved in historical Civil War battle reenactments. His preteen son performs with him.
I guess the more “progressive” sort dumps the kids off with the nanny.
Well, little children - under the age of seven, are not usually at their best at events that require extended periods of quiet attention or when adults are having serious conversations or giving lectures on art theory, science, etc. That’s why it is generally understood that there is a separation between the activities and pursuits of adults and children.
And as for nannies being the resort of progressives, you could not be more mistaken. All the children of the traditional haute bourgeoisie and the aristocracy were in the care of nannies and governesses growing up - the entire ruling class of 19th century Europe was raised that way - and turned out some of the greatest statesmen, writers and artists in history.
