Suoer! Thank you! I will do some digging this weekend :) I've got a group of fellow Canadians here who are interested, too, so I'll also pass it along to them.

I don't think there's a benevolent all-powerful being, so I'm not even sure I believe that there's a good vs. bad place.
If there were a benevolent all-powerful being, the amount of injustice and brutality in the world that the truly innocent suffer would be spared from it.
If there is an afterlife, suffering continues there. But not all face suffering. And in that same plane, peace continues there, but not all face peace.
So, if heaven and hell exist, they're the same place.
Solid clarification and expansion there.
For the sake of expanding on cultural/social differences in other places, here in South Korea, most folks i see on dating apps in their 30s are without kids.
It's in the 30s that most relationships turn serious and get married.
I know two people here who got married in their 20s and had kids. Even the one who got married in their early 20s is open about how she maybe rushed into it.
My time in Canada supports everything you've said, mind you. If I hadn't experienced life here in Korea for so many years, I'd probably wholeheartedly agree without realizing that without knowing where OP lives, it's hard to describe what their potential dating windows are.
I was fortunate to have a wonderful father. It wasn't until it was almost too late that I realized and thanked him.
Be firm, but reasonable. Be kind and sensitive. Tease because it gently builds tolerances. Lift up and build up, don't break down.
Encourage communication and support with understanding. Don't punish honesty. Encourage it and meet it with respect. Even when honesty reveals a wrongdoing, communicate the next steps to right the wrong. Help them walk those steps. But sometimes, let them take some of the steps alone to build independence.
Be there to catch them when they fall. Be there.
I finally got back to my Taboo generator spreadsheet to quickly create a set of words with related banned words for my classes to use when we do vocabulary reviews. Not only did I get the related words scraping off a database and filtering correctly, I also have it so I can select vocabulary by week, up to that week, and also display it in a printable page with cards for physical play.
Up next, I'm hoping to also tag on a word search generator for vocabulary words.
Spreadsheeting is fun!
Poorly. They said they don't have patterns that big. I offered to source them. Still no. Fair enough, I suppose. I get the same treatment looking for a tall bicycle here.
