[quote=Anonymous]Let them fail and learn from their failures. Don't overschedule or pressure them on grades/sports. Good performance and good effort is good enough. If they have superstar talent, it will show itself regardless. Make them contribute to the household by doing some basic chores from a young age. Model a healthy relationship and put your marriage above your children. Disagree in front of them, but not in a nasty manner, and show how to resolve differences in a healthy way. Be as free-range as possible without being reckless -- i.e. no biking without helmets or running into high-traffic roads, but let them walk to the playground or the nearby store. Let them play outside without watching them constantly. Let them stay home alone for short periods once they're ~upper elementary/middle school age.[/quote]
