Unpopular opinion: My brother's aviation stories are better than any parenting advice

He uses hydraulic system checks to show my kids why double-checking their homework matters.

Absolutely, this is the kind of stuff that actually sticks with kids! @the_ben, your yawn and yaw mix-up is too real, I've been there. My uncle fixes small planes and once used spark plug checks to show my niece why cleaning her room in steps works better. He made her list her tasks like a pre-flight list. Now she actually gets it, instead of just staring at the mess. It's way better than just yelling about it.

Lol using hydraulic systems to teach homework checks is next level. My attempts are more like confusing "yaw" with "yawn" while trying to explain why they shouldn't leave their backpack in the hall. Your brother's method is honestly genius.
