However there IS evidence they teach successfully taught their children to support themselves as adults and pass on those lesson to their own kids.

One of reason animals raised in captivity can't just be released into the while as they typically starve unless they're retrained.

I think Animal Handling specialty should suffice

I think Animal Handling for sapient children older than infancy should be Teaching. I could easily understand an age based specialty similar to how Pediatrics is different from general adult medicine.

Now using Parenting as Influence Skill (Minors) the following situational modifiers (from easy to hard):

Your Kid (your younger family member)
Your Kid's friends (or Students for Teachers and club members for Youth group leaders)
Random minor

Which level would you use +0 for? [hence the other levels would be -n or +n relative to it]

I think that would be social regard.

Not nessicarily in that order though, kids can be better behaved at someone else's house.
Also one thing guaranteed to make a kid act up is the presence of a parent after an absence.
