[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the genetic lottery. Sometimes patents can do everything right and have relatively good genes themselves (IQ is 50%+ genetic), but the kid struggles as an adult. Kids can get unlucky and randomly inherit a set of genes from each parent that confers a much cognitive abilities than either of their parents have. [/quote] People born with the highest IQs can be the biggest sociopaths . IQ is not the problem. Parents need to make sure their child has empathy, knowing right from wrong, is able to control impulses and learn to treat people kindly. Bullying behavior is a warning sign. These are a whole more important in raising a healthy child and a future healthy adult. If the child has these positive traits and an IQ within normal range and a parent who doesn’t pressure them to be something they’re not they should be ok. But even so children can develop illnesses that is no fault of parent or child. [/quote]
