Re: Younger Moms

Lovely post.

Probably my most favorite post on gs. This is our world.

Maternal education is not the only deciding factor, but it certainly is a factor, the bar out there is being raised and we are entering an era of super humans, as someone had pointed out well rounded individuals and that is going to be the key…India and China are producing more Doctors and Engineers than you would care to know, softer skills are more in demand than hard skills, and not having a personality is almost a crime,

We cant leave parenting to chance, there are resources out there to improve parenting skills, parents need to learn how a brain develops, what factors are involved in behavioral and intellectual development, parenting styles out there are authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and uninvolved..I take bits from every style..My measure of success is happiness and at a very early stages I decided to develop their capacity to be happy…one of my goal is to hear laughter every day..you can’t truly be happy without physical development and I made sure the kids fitness level is high. Healthy bodies have healthy brains

According to the National Institutes of Health, the education level of a parent is a significant predictor of a child’s educational achievements and behavioral outcomes. Parents who are educated raise children to have healthy self-perceptions when it comes to their academic abilities, engage them in intellectual activities that help them develop a healthy attitude about learning and generally have children with fewer behavioral problems that may hinder their learning experiences.
Also there are many men like me involved in active parenting…so let us not forget them..
