Mediocre Jedi brings us his insight into Jedi parenting skills over at Coffee With Kenobi.
I want to start by saying that I have just one child – a rambunctious three-year-old boy – and have not spent much time around other young children, especially in a caregiver role. I recognize that my experience is undoubtedly far different from many other parents. With that in mind, I am merely relating my own thoughts and certainly do not intend this to be any sort of recommendation of what other parents should or should not do with their own children.
The vast majority of Jedi did not have children (Ki-Adi Mundi being a notable exception), and of course Force-sensitive children were taken from their birth parents at a very young age. This particular aspect of the Jedi experience is clearly not a rule that society should follow. It does not mean, though, that we cannot borrow many of the other mindsets or techniques from the Jedi to raise mindful kids.
