I just said schools because, sadly, not every child has a good family dynamic to learn from. National or local curricula can at least standardise the messages children receive at school.
No, I’m not contesting your point. I find it a fair initiative. My point is that home input is necessary. In fact, if parents are enforcers of problematic dynamics which are reflecting on how their kids behave, they probably ought to have some guidance too. If possible. Of course, it can’t be forced.
No, I agree with both your points.
In the UK, I believe they offer classes to prepare expecting parents for the child's early days, as part of antenatal classes (I only have second-hand info on this). Something like that might be a good opportunity for some low-pressure encouragement on modelling positive dynamics, as parents-to-be are already there with their future child's interests in mind.
But, we're probably off-topic...
