tbh one thing i feel is a big thing is to just not give your kid everything they want without work and without knowing the situations of others. i feel like it turns them into libs. like my grandparents were commies and gave their kids everything they could ever want, and they turned out libs. i dont necessarily blame my grandparents, they lived in terrible times and wanted the best for their kids, and wanted to give them things that they could never have. what made me left wing is i didnt get everything i wanted i think, combined with being trans and understanding how fucked up the world is, and not just in say Africa, but in America and Europe as well.

also, ask them lots of questions to get that critical thinking in.
