[quote=Anonymous]Limit fruit juice and sodas or avoid them altogether if possible. No TV during the week. Educational TV on weekends for as many years you can get away with. Family movies and Scrabble. I think it's only been mentioned once or twice, but they need a series of ice skating lessons or a private lessor or two so they don't feel like an outcast at birthday parties. When they're old enough to have cell phones, keep them downstairs at night. Keep a consistent bedtime schedule. Do not give your kids everything and spoil them so they have no drive. Make them earn things. Give them chores. The most common theme on this thread, aside from butter, is people who have become successful because they had the drive to succeed, no doubt due to growing up with very little or in difficult circumstances.[/quote]
