If you had known then what you know now, what would you have done differently for your child/ren?

I'm not sure I can actually come up with anything re DS - I overthought parenting and education to a ridiculous degree (partly in the context of what went wrong with mine, which turned out to be relevant as DS is very like me) and then arrived here early and had the benefit of other people's thinking (and overthinking!) too. Re myself, however, if I'd known in my own childhood and teenage years what I know now, I'd have done whatever it took to get challenges other than perfectionist ones!

What about you? If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself-as-younger-parent, or indeed yourself-as-child?
