[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you define success?[/quote] Kind, empathetic, socially involved, well adjusted, ability to communicate, college educated, employed with work-life balance, financially stable with no/low debt, in healthy relationship, civic sense, positive outlook. Just basics which would overlap in most lists.[/quote] Here's what we did right: we nurtured their interests. We also pushed them to find some. We fostered and encouraged reading. We fostered and encouraged family time. Despite a divorce we kept our adult drama from the kids as much as possible, and parented with a united front. Their education was paid for, but we told them they had to maintain a B average for that to continue. We pushed and then encouraged them to be self-sufficient, both in little ways and big ways. We invested money more in experiences than material objects. [/quote]
