And related to that:
The best way to teach is to not worry about how you might be teaching wrong in general, but to worry about each of the specific major ways you might be teaching wrong. It's probably the same with parenting: consciousness of the process as a process is doubtless an impediment, but various errors of those blissfully unconscious of what they're doing to their kids are much worse than those made by overly self-conscious parents. Categorical fear is panic, is dark pantheism, you against the whole world, can lead to premature surrenders or unnecessary wars. Subcategorical fears, some of them, are good sense.
