Ask HN: I'm poor at explaining things, how can I fix that?

Every time I try to explain something to someone, I go either too deep in details or uses wrong examples, leading them to be completely lost.

Today was the tipping when I was trying to explain some basic mathematics to my daughter, and managed to lost here, making her more confused than before.

The worst part is that I love sharing what I know. I want to share my knowledge with my children, sharing my passion with them, and this is a blow for me.

I, unfortunately, don't think I'm not the only one, and I hope that some of you managed to turn the ship around, found help and improved themselves.

If so, I would love to have your insights on it, and what can I do to be a better pedagogue.

Thank you.
