If there were a way to predict how successful our children were going to be in adulthood, what would you be looking for as a predictor? As we rear our children we often take a ‘best-guess’ approach. That is often influenced by our own upbringing – we either do the same, or the opposite of what our parents did. Our love for our kids often makes the choices more blurry. We want our kids to succeed, we want to protect them from harm & pain, we want to stop them from making the same mistakes we did. That often leads to us then sighing about how ‘naive’ they are to the world.
