I have been introducing my 2 1/2 year old grandson to Tiki, he always points them out to me when he sees them "Poppi, that's a Tiki!" But in the end I think you just don't have much control. Before I had children I was sure they were putty in your hands to mold however you wanted. I found I didn't have near as much control as I thought. If your children like and respect you, they will enjoy the things you like. If there ever comes a time when they don't like and respect you, they will rebel against the things you stand for. (somehow that reads like a tale of woe. I have always had a great relationship with my kids, but there were some teenage years when dad wasn't cool :D )
