[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you and your spouse raised your kids into successful adults. What were some of the things you did that most impacted them becoming well adjusted successful adults? Do you have any regrets?[/quote] Gosh observing friends and family and how we ended up as adults, I think a lot of this is more out of our control than we think and a lot of it is just the luck of the draw with personality, a huge part of which is genetically wired. Aside from giving as many opportunities as possible (education, opportunity to explore interests), encouragement, and love/support I think you just need to let people be who they will be. The same parents can create completely different children. Some people who grow up with hardship are more resilient than others, and some people who grow up with privilege still struggle. The modern idea of parenting as a project I think is hubristic.[/quote]
