How do I teach my kid to love and respect this forum?

[snowpega]

I have been here in Bitcointalk for many years already, so I am not really a newbie anymore. I may not be the most technical person here, but this forum taught me a lot over the years. Back in the day, I learned many things here that helped me build confidence in crypto and investing. I also made some investments because of the knowledge I picked up from reading discussions here. So in some way, I am really thankful to this forum.

Now I have a kid, she is already 18 years old and mature enough to start learning things on her own. I want to introduce her to this forum, not just for earning, but mainly for learning. I want her to understand how discussions work here, how to respect other members, how not to spam, and how to actually contribute something useful.

Of course, if there is an opportunity to earn later on then maybe she can also grab it, but I do not want her to come here with that mindset first. I do not want her to become one of those users who only post for campaigns or rewards without really learning anything. My problem is, I am not very good at teaching. I know the value of this forum because I experienced it myself, but explaining it properly to my kid is another thing.

So I want to ask some advice from older members here. How would you introduce btt to your son or daughter?

I have experienced this sometimes. You have started this topic with really good intentions, as far as I have analyzed after reading your post. So, this is bitcointalk, that is why you have to see first if your daughter takes an interest in bitcoin and the crypto space. After that, you have to check if she is interested in writing and feels better while interacting with different kinds of users. If she shows her interest in both, then I think you don't have to use your more energy here to bring her on BTT. I wanted to bring some people I knew, but every time I got disappointed, that's why I don't discuss about BTT with anyone anymore and save my energy haha.

Besides this, if I have to share my personal journey about landing on this forum, then I was the person who invested in Bitcoin first, which increased my interest related to crypto and Bitcoin discussion. After that, this forum caught my attention, and after that during all that time while I am here on this forum, I have learnt a lot from multiple users. So, it would be great if you could check first your daughter's interest, whether she is interested in the crypto space or not. This is my suggestion to you.

To introduce your daughter to this forum is not a bad idea, it will really help her to learn about Bitcoin if she is interested in learning about Bitcoin. The main challenge you will have is if she don’t want to learn anything about Bitcoin, but if she is active online and have good educational background, I am sure she will be happy to be introduced to the forum because the discussions that are going on here is educative and interactive, therefore, you can inform her and introduce her to the forum, let her know about the important of privacy in her investment, and let her know that this forum is the best place to learn and interact at the same time.

The most we could do for a kid is to raise them right. Once you’re able to raise a kid right, have them be able to make their own choice and choose right in most situations, of course you can expect them to show a great deal of respect to anyone who is deserving of it, even if it’s the forum.
When it comes to Bitcoin, I get skeptical about having to introduce it to kids but, at 18years of age, that’s no longer a kid. That’s an adult whom is exploring a lot of possibilities. Should they understand just how revolutionary and important Bitcoin is to our world today, of course the kid would make the right choice.

[CryptSafe]

I know you mean well for your daughter in wanting her to learn about this platform and how things are done here which is a good idea but have you taken your time to study her if she is that into Crypto or she has passion to learn about Bitcoin and crypto, does she really give that attention to forums of this nature online? Has she ever met you with that inquisitive nature to learn from you how began or started here on this platform? I will advise you don't force it on her you just ask her about it if she is interested and also try talk to convince her how the platform has been of great help and benefit to you all these while and see how she responds or reacts to what you have said then from there you could deduce if she has picked interest in wanting to learn about the platform or not but do not make it look like you are forcing it on her.

Let's teach kids about Bitcoin, introduce them about the Bitcoin forum, give them good educational resources for learning about Bit[Suspicious link removed]d threads to learn and discover this Bitcoin forum, it's enough.

You can nurture their knowledge about Bitcoin, Bitcoin forum, and whether they love Bitcoin, love this forum, it's up to them. You can not force your kids loving Bitcoin or liking this forum, let's give them freedom to learn and love or dislike Bitcoin and Bitcoin forum in their own personal ways.

[Anthony Bill]

I don't know how old are your children, it depend their age that will make you use different tactics to teach them Bitcoin, because if you begin to teach them now when they are not mature they can start using their school fees you will be giving to them to buy Bitcoin. I believe if you discover that your children are developing such habit, you will not like that child, and this is the reason you have to exercise patience for your children to reach this age 18 above before you can start teaching them Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

[Giwagi56]

You are the father and you have treated her well to become a good daughter and respect whatever you said so from my own experience i think you are the one that will guide her and teach her what she need to do in this forum, although no one is perfect and she can make a mistake but you as a father who has take the forum as a successful place and want her to become more successful than you is the one who to guide her and make sure she becomes who you want her to become. She is 18 and she might thought that she is has the right to decide what she wants to do but you as a father that want the best for hand will sit her down and make sure she understands things about cryptocurrency.

[Myleschetty]

You make a valid point, but we are in the 21st century, and the OP mentioned that the kid is 18 years old and mature enough to start learning independently.
I think that someone of that age is capable of handling everything you mentioned on her own, and what I believe the father should focus on more is ensuring she comprehends the forum rules and regulations, as well as what she should steer clear of.

Where many of our parents have gotten it wrong is we don’t start to teach our kids what we think they need to learn on time, we dont nurture them through the process and get them acquainted with what we want them to learn from childhood. I’d realized the best way to get a child acquainted to a skill or a knowledge is by nurturing them through it from their childhood. If you allow a child to have grown into maturity like her daughter who was already 18 there are chances the child may reject the knowledge you are trying to impact on them especially if their interest is on another place already. This is why the statement goes as ‘catch them young, if you want to catch them strong’.

You make a valid point, and I think parents should be aware of the environment their children seem interested in, including any unique skills they may possess, before deciding which field to foster them in. They should also encourage their children to learn about Bitcoin because of its potential future growth.
In the case of the OP kid. I hope he looks into whether the girl is interested in using the forum or another aspect of Bitcoin instead of making choose the agenda he wanted.

Exactly the same way you just explained how you have benefited from here and your experiences. You can't teach what you don't know, and you can only teach what you know, right? Well first of, explain what Bitcoin is, what Bitcointalk is, possibly give a brief history.

While explaining what Bitcoin is, tell them everything you know about Bitcoin, tell them about investing, how to invest in Bitcoin rightly, how to do research too. Then tell them everything about Bitcointalk, it's importance, what it stands for, how to behave in here, it's benefit, etc.

I think these will do. Also tell them to know how to make research on things too. This is also very important.

[Marykeller]

Their newfound interest in Bitcoin will tell me whether I should introduce them to the forum to learn about Bitcoin and the technical aspects that surround it.

I like it when someone decides to join a platform on their own, based on what they have seen or learned, and then I will be in a good position to bring them forward to that.

The sons and daughters we have, I don't think it is certain that they will partake in the things we did. They may not do that because of a lack of interest in that. It is then fine for us to find out from them whether they have an interest in what they find us doing before we think of introducing them to what we are doing.

I think, you should find out from your daughter whether she has an interest in joining the forum and learning about Bitcoin. If yes, then you can introduce her to the forum

It's understandable my friend, because not everybody is good at teaching, and it is quite okay. And for me, I would have loved to say that why not first discover what this your 18years old daughter likes the most, and then look for a way to channel her interest into the forum. Because since the forum is broad and covers lots of topics such as gambling discussions, politics and the general Bitcoin discussions. It won't be bad if she is a lover of football or basketball, you can introduce her to the "Gambling" board where she can meet like-minded sport lovers there and start discussing about football or basketball which she loves most. And if she loves politics, you can likewise introduce to the "Politics & Society" board where she can start discussing about global politics. Because with this strategy, she won't get bored, and could start learning about Bitcoin gradually.

my question is did you introduce the BTT forum just to learn bitcoin or aim to discuss, make posts and look for side jobs like you do here? because if you only learn bitcoin there are so many media that can be used not only forums, now there are so many sources about bitcoin, both technically and others.

but before that it is necessary to first question his interest in the forum, if you want to bring your child to study on the forum with the people who are here, because honestly without a strong interest it will be difficult to survive.

[MusaPk]

I wouldn't really introduce them to this forum if I didn't feel it was important. After all, kids have their own interests, and right now they're not particularly interested in what I do, so I don't feel the need to introduce them to this forum. Maybe later, when they start to become interested, I can guide them, but for now, I'm just letting them do what they like and enjoying their childhood.

But regarding respect, I want you to understand the saying "respect should be earned, not given." So, there's no need to teach children to respect anything, only to respect what deserves respect.

We must take interest in liking and disliking of our children. Only if we know what our kids interest are, we are able to help them in excelling in that particular field. If my kids have interest in Bitcoin and discussion forums, only then I will introduce them here otherwise I will gladly let them do whatever there interests are.

While those who want to introduce this forum to there kids must instruct them to first read the rules and regulations of this forum. Apart from that they must spend some time on daily basis on this forum reading stuff already posted. This way they will get to know how to proceed here on the forum.

I think, as a parent, you have to take charge and direct the interest of your children. A young child might not have any peculiar interest or possibly their interest could be influenced by their pair group which might not be beneficial to them. So as a parent, you have the obligation to direct your children to the right path and not to leave them clueless.

I support this. Even if Op might say that he is not good at teaching, he must have to sit his daughter down and at least tell her the rules and ethics of the forum.

I don’t think you have to be so good in teaching before you will be able to teach your daughter about forum. Forum is not so complex, and you can just explain the basics to her, also you can tell her to go through the forum rules and regulations, and other useful threads that have been pinned in different boards. Am sure if your daughter understands the basics of the forum, he will be able to navigate without you even teaching her anything.

Also when there are some things which she doesn’t understand, you should be able to guide her also Incase if she doesn’t want to ask some questions on the forum here. She is already 18, so she is old enough to make decisions herself, but just make her know the main reason why you introducing her to the forum, you should let her know that you want her to learn, and she should just focus on that.

[passwordnow]

I don't know how old are your children

He mentioned it that her daughter is 18 years old.

because honestly without a strong interest it will be difficult to survive.

I agree, and I think that's the position of his daughter. She doesn't have interest at all and better that if he starts to know what she really up to.
Because forcing her to know things about the forum and bitcoin might not result good.

[Wakate]

This topic is somehow strange and I don't know why introducing his offspring here will change everything they needed to know about Bitcoin. Since you have the knowledge and you have been in this forum for years, you can as well pass the information you have gathered and comprehended from this forum to your offsprings and it's not necessarily mean that they have to be here to learn when you have the capacity to teach them.

The same way you are confused after seeing this is the same way i am when I saw it.  Not that we should limit our children from getting advance experience of life, but there are some informations that are far much  bigger than the brain of children especially now they are working hard to improve there academic life.
To me I don't see anything good in introducing our children to this forum when they have alot of jobs to do especially to structure there lifes for future benefit.

[Franklyn-wood]

First of all, it is good that you have the intention of teaching your kid about the forum, that's something a lot of people won't really have the time for but you did that. But you must understand that your kid must have interest to love the forum because passion cannot be forced, all what you can do is to tell them about the benefits of being actively involved in the forum. Sometimes the only way we can get people to be passionate and serious about something is when we tell them about the possibilities of what they can achieve and also when they see what you have achieved as well.

Each of this children have there individual strength to assimilate and to learn fast. The child must be interested in all he or she is taught and be able obey the rules of the platform. There must be Increase in the abilit to to read more so as to learn. This forum is packed with a lot of information for free that would have cost personally experience or reading books with lots of research before gaining knowledge which is not like others and educating.

Actually I have been in this forum for some months now , with this your thread is also a good idea bringing your children to know about this forum I think is one of the good decisions a parent can help his children to achieved in the nearest future, because with the knowledge I have acquired so far from this forum, I think is more than enough to start teaching some of my kids just for knowledge purposes and not actually for earnings just as you have said , but in due time if the earnings comes too no problem,is a good decision and to me I think introducing it to our kids is the best decision.
