we think about raising well-rounded kids, too. esp how we can encourage them to be high agency, awesome problem solvers, and develop the fortitude to work through setbacks.
one of the biggest challenges is also a good balance between device and non-device-oriented activities. as they get older, we've found it more challenging to get them out for a bushwalk, etc., but persistence pays off, and they always love it when we're out in the middle of nowhere. the conversations we have during these times are deeper and richer than at other times.
money is great, don't discourage that. i am sure she will feel great knowing she earned her own wealth and has f@#$ you money to live the life she wants ;) obv, our job is to teach them balance rather than extreams and give them the tools to get better making trade offs
