Dear Chelsea Community:
I found this really good article entitled “Science Says the Most Successful Kids Have Parents who do These 9 Things”.
I’ve summarized it below:
- Don’t tell them they can be anything they want. Instead steer them into well-paying professions where there will be a shortage of workers. (Healthcare and construction trades.)
- Eat dinner as a family.
- Enforce no screen time.
- Work outside the home.
- Make them do chores.
- Delay gratification
- Read to them.
- Encourage them to travel.
- Let them fail.
