[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, the sweet realization that your carefully curated parenting strategies are basically like trying to steer a cargo ship with a pool noodle. Why bother? Let’s face it, they’re either going to thrive because of their nature or despite us. Might as well just buy popcorn, sit back, and watch the inevitable genetic rerun unfold. All this effort, and at best, we’re just mildly influencing their Spotify Wrapped.[/quote] That sentiment is too reductive and binary to be useful. Of course nature is a powerfull influence on a child’s development. Someone with terrible eye hand coordination is never going to be a great baseball player but maybe track is for them etc. most parents just want there kids to have happy productive lives- there’s a million ways to get there.
