[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]disciplined: don't let them quit things too easily; teach them to manage their own schooling (don't helicopter them with homework, projects, etc); teach and show them actions have consequences

[b]high achieving: so much of this is luck, IMO[/b][/quote]

No. It is good parenting and teaching kids to work smart. To teach your kids to work smart, you as a parent need to do your homework and be clued in.  Most parents are not clued in and they don't want to spend the time to research or be involved. So they watch their kids spin their wheels and get stressed. Clued in parents  will research and guide their children so that they can be high achieving (which is different from being GT) and doors will open for them. Once the kids get a taste of success, the motivation to do well all the time gets instilled in them. The strategies need to be taught and achievement needs to be mapped.

For example - your kid can be good in coding but she also needs to know how to participate in competitions and to give back to society by teaching others - so it elevates a passion into achievement. All of this requires some guidance and support from parent. Which further requires parent to sacrifice their own leisure time and also to be functional. [/quote]
