I told my daughter that her bitcoin wallet wasn’t quantum safe and that I could help her. She gave me her seed phrase and I immediately transferred out the $300 in bitcoin she’d been saving up with her $10 DCA’s. She’s still mad about it but I think the cost was cheap for the value of the lesson she learned.

Just tell her it’s taxes and you need to build some roads
Our son couldn't find his backup paper seed phrase but had his seed backed up on metal by @SeedHammer so we loaded onto his @SeedSigner and I made him roll die for a new wallet and transfer everything. Of course he found the original paper a couple days later but was a good lesson as well.
My uncle once played a card game with me. After I had won couple of times in a row, I was eager to bet my pocket money. So my uncle said okay but told me that it is wise only to bring some (not all money) at the table. So I went and got 5 mark. I lost. But I went again for money and lost again. At the end I had lost all my savings. My uncle than said to me: Don't think you can control the game. When it is about money the game is controlled by the dealer. I manipulated the deck so I always win. That's why I made you get money over and over again. I needed that time. I never played for money my whole life. This are lessons you won't ever forget.
I once played cards with my aunt and she never let me win. I still remember how upset I was. She was ruthless. And then she laughed at how upset I was I didn't win.
Lessons like this are always the most powerful. It will protect her from falling again for that. But, she will remember it and might teach you a lesson when you're old. 😆
