That being said, I didn't consider him to be ignorant at all. I thought he was curious and reckless at times, but not ignorant. He also became friends with a classmate who was of a lower class despite being raised as an aristocrat. That is a sign of intelligence, not ignorance. He quickly adapted to new environments and sacrificed what was handed to him on a silver platter at birth to fight for independence. That was a sign of courage and strength.
What parts might I ask made him appear ignorant? Maybe I'm mistaken and missed them.

Very true. Parenting is different to different children in different situations. But does it affect the child's personality?Devalsodha wrote: ↑16 Jan 2021, 14:26 As a parent I can understand that parenting is different for different child and in different situations.
As a single mother, Sougyon did her best to pass on her good values to Embon, so he grew up to be a smart, mannerful young boy. Though it surprised me that as a child he kicked an elderly person. But overall his mother did a great job and I can ofcourse imagine that if I would have been in her place I would discipline Embon in the childhood too.
I liked the way she allowed Embon to create his individual opinion about his father.

I think it is easy to have a lot of "what ifs," especially as a parent. I also think a lot of us go into parenthood ignorant and sheltered. You can't know all the in's and out's until you actually do something.raluca_mihaila wrote: ↑12 Jan 2021, 14:53 One of the things that I found very striking was how sheltered and ignorant was Embon. I think this lesson also applies today, as a lot of parents think that is better to take care of every need or problem of the child, without taking into consideration his/ her future development. What would you have done differently? Do you think that if Embon had had a different upbringing he would have become a different man?
That said, I do see where you are coming from. At some point, you have to acknowledge that you can't give everything to your child or do everything for them.
