🧙 When Your Kid Wants to Be a Slytherin Sith
“Dad, why is Voldemort kind of cool?” It hits you between cereal spoon and school run. Your kid has gravitated toward the dark side—not just in story, but in spirit.
Here’s the thing: Being drawn to Slytherins or Siths doesn’t mean moral meltdown—it means they’re curious about power, complexity, and identity. So how do we guide without gating?
- 🟢 Validate the fascination. Slytherins value ambition. Siths challenge authority. These aren’t flaws—they’re facets.
- 🧠 Ask storytelling questions. “What would make Draco switch sides?” “Could Darth Vader be a better dad with therapy?” Let them rewrite the arcs.
- ❤️ Balance the narrative. Spotlight heroes who are misunderstood. Cue Neville Longbottom and Cal Kestis for the win.
Being a Dadnaut means navigating nuance. Let your child wear the Slytherin crest with pride—while teaching them the power of choosing light.
