2 pieces of advice for future parents

The folks that think "Because I said so" somehow damages the little shits are completely wrong.

I don't think it "damages" kids, but it certainly is not a better answer than providing reasoning that the child can follow.

Providing your reasoning for a decision is a great way to teach a child how to engage in smart decision-making, in my experience. Brushing their questions off with "because I said so" really only contains one lesson, which is that authority must be obeyed.
