You are a Wise man and a born teacher :)
We tend to make everything so difficult, don’t we!
When I used to facilitate parenting programs, I based it on what I called “Age 16”. What do you want your children to be like at Age 16? This is what you are developing for the first 15 years. I facilitated hundreds of workshops, with professionals, families of high, low, medium incomes and education levels, families mandated to attend and with inmates at a correctional centre.
Every list was pretty much the same. We all want the same thing for our children.
The “teaching” that I did was to help families see how their actions either created the desired outcome or undermined it. No psycho-babble required; just awareness, observation, and intention.
