[quote=Anonymous]Least/most effective in what way? Financial/work success? Content children who grown into confident adults able to manage stressful situations and be kind to others? Children who grow up to be close with parents as adults? Lots of paths to success and depends on the kids personality as well. I think its very hard to motivate kids who dont want to be motivated in a particular direction. Many rely on shame and guilt and yelling. Maybe that leads to college/career results but from personal experience also can lead to a kid not able to make independent decisions long into adulthood and poor self confidence and major risk aversion. Boundaries and saying no are important. As is praise for real achievement as well as attempts at something hard (even resulting in failure). Skills to deal with setbacks and skills to learn to learn and persevere are also important. Parenting well is hard, there are many ways to be a bad parent. [/quote]
