Street smarts is just common sense. If you're a good parent you apply common sense concepts to your life for him to emulate. Kids may not listen to everything you say, but they're watching what you do, and how you move. Be a good, rational, loving example to your son (or daughter) and they will follow.
first step is to make sure he doesn’t ever use the phrase “squared up”…….
Yes. shyt's honestly low vibrational High School bullshyt.

No. If I have a son I'm def going to hand him a basketball, football, soccer ball etc early and see if sports are his thing. But I'm way more interested in shaping his intellectual growth. I couldn't care less about "street smarts." I don't live in the streets, and he won't either. Of course I want him to know when something is dangerous, when he's being bullshytted etc but I don't really think those are street smarts.
Here's thing thing that bothers me most. I go with my girl to her doctor appointments, and often there will be little kids in the lobby with their parents. I see little kids who are maybe 4 or 5 years old yet speak in full sentences, their pronunciation is nearly perfect, etc. Then I see other kids in the same lobby who are the same age but still talk like babies and generally seem under developed. Obviously one factor could be disabilities like autism but most of the kids are pretty regular. The major difference is parental involvement and reading. If you read to your child at a young age, they develop faster. And the faster children develop their words/communication, the better they do in school. Which means talking to your newborn, reading to your 1-2 year old, etc are essential. That's what I'm focused on when it comes to my future son.

I’ve seen the results of parenting with and without speaking to children using regular speech, full sentences and conversations and explaining the world to them so they are aware of what’s dangerous, what to avoid, what’s beneficial and what to pursue.
I’ll let you guess which of those 2 I’ve seen struggle the most, not understand basic concepts, put their efforts into things that won’t benefit them long term and have warped senses of entitlement and a shytty outlook on life.
Who do you think is more successful in life on average OP? I love my Pops, but he was on that bullshyt you’re on and if I wasn’t naturally smarter than him, I probably would’ve made more mistakes than I did. Love him to death, but some of the examples he set and advice he gave me could’ve made me a sociopath. He apologized to me as an adult for failing me as a parent. I didn’t know what to do with that so I just kept it moving.
