[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you raise children that can set, meet goals and succeed in what they want?[/quote] By modeling those skills yourself. Your kids learn by watching you.[/quote] Many exceptionally privileged people who I know who have successful parents are not exceptional and have struggled with mental health and substance abuse, and even if they seem to have things together (decent job, spouse, kids, lux lifestyle, $2M home) a lot of that is due to the fact that their parents were able to throw money at problems to make those problems go away and then finance their lives as adults. So many privileged kits lack grit and drive. And maybe some of that is seeing how much their parents sacrificed to get to where they are and deciding they don’t want that life.[/quote] But that’s privileged and sounds like mental issues and not skilled or successful. OP wants to know how to raise winners! Not rich losers. Winners can be rich or poor. They are parented broadly, nurtured to find their passions, interests, strengths and weaknesses. Then given the best education, training and resources in their strengths as possible. Be that boarding school, elite sports coaches and programs, or teach to potential, challenging arts or academic programs. Then their parents let them fly. [/quote]
