It's fairly normal for a parent to want to instill their values in their children. But how would you do so without bias or indoctrination?

Everyone has the right to raise their children the way they want to, I'm not saying otherwise. I'm just saying if someone did want to be mindful of this while sending them in what they believe to be the right direction, how do you do so without bias or indoctrination?

I just asked questions.
So what do you want out of life? What kind of people do you think would help you get that?
Do you think your parents are any help with that?
Do you think we see things better from experience?
Is what you are doing have any hidden dangers? Is it worth the risk?

I always asked my daughter questions.
And when she asked me questions I showed her how to get answers. Many different answers. Most common sense.
One day she asked me "what do I do if a boy grabs me in a wrong place, how do I react" So I grabbed her ass. She slapped my hand away strongly and looked at me very mean.
I said. That is what you do. Instinct, any questions?

trick question, a parent should be biased towards their morality,, that's the difference between morality and an opinion.

ALL teaching is indoctrination, it's kinda a useless word in that way where it doesn't tell you anything. if you agree with a teaching it isn't indoctrination, if you don't... it's indoctrination. it just means "oh i disagree with what is being taught.

a parent has a moral responsibility to indoctrinate their kids to their worldview. they're the ones who should be doing that.

Ultimately, you can't. But you can teach them to think critically, and encourage them ho do so with all ideas presented to them, regardless of their source.

You concentrate on the CHILD's needs, not your own, parent's job is to support the development of their child not impose their own values,,,

Like sending your gay kid to conversion camps?

I'm not exactly sure what your point is but that's obviously a very extreme example. Like, knives can be used to stab people but I wouldn't site stabbings as a reason people shouldn't be able to have knives, since in nearly all cases of knife-usage, stabbing people isn't involved.
