8 habits of parents with excellent children

Parents often talk to their children: According to Verywell Family, effective parenting starts with proper communication. Even if children cannot speak or are learning to speak, they still "benefit" from conversations with their parents. Parents who raise successful children always maintain the habit of talking to their children, from familiar topics such as weather, food, to broader topics such as Earth, the universe. Long, informative conversations will bring more benefits to young children. This activity helps children develop language skills, social skills, and at the same time enhance their thinking and imagination.

Parents require their children to do housework from a young age: Based on research results from Harvard University (USA), Julie Lythcott-Haimes, former president of Stanford University, author of the book "How To Raise An Adult," believes that children who regularly do housework when they grow up will be able to work independently, can coordinate effectively with others and also have greater sympathy than children who are pampered from a young age without having to do anything. Billionaire Elon Musk's mother, Mrs. Maye Musk, also admitted that she once required all three of her children, Elon, Kimbal and Tosca, to do housework. According to Mrs. Maye, this helped her children learn how to be responsible, serve themselves as well as have the necessary skills that are extremely important in the process of growing up as well as working later.

Parents do not control their children: Children need time to explore their own path. At first, they will have difficulty in finding direction. At that time, parents should not control and force their children to follow adults' wishes. Kenneth Ginsburg, author of Building Resilience in Children and Teens, advises parents to play the role of guides instead of controlling children. In other words, parents should find out what their children want, what they love, and then support them in developing that passion. When children are allowed to pursue what they want, they will be happier and better at improving themselves.

Parents let their children be independent from a young age: Esther Wojcicki, mother of two American businesswomen Susan and Anne Wojcicki, said that her secret to raising successful children is to let them be independent from an early age. Independence helps Susan and Anne feel freer, more confident and more responsible than other children. A survey by Harvard University also showed that 85% of successful businessmen were independent from a young age. These people have an independent personality, grasp the situation accurately, and know how to make the right decisions.

Parents teach their children social skills: In a study by Pennsylvania State University and Duke University in the US, which followed children from kindergarten to age 25, scientists found a strong link between social skills taught when they were young and their success as adults. Specifically, 5-year-olds who were helpful, understood the feelings of others, and had problem-solving skills were more likely to get a college degree and have a full-time job before age 25.

Parents who care about their children's schoolwork: Some parents don't even realize their children are failing or struggling. They don't check their emails, respond to teacher voicemails, or attend parent-teacher conferences. "Don't ask your child how they're doing in school because they'll say they're fine. Ask the teacher," says New York City English teacher Rebecca Rosen. Another teacher says that in today's technology-driven world, it's easy for parents to keep track of how their children are doing in school. If parents have questions about a class or assignment, they should contact the teacher directly before getting upset and going to a higher-up.

Parents teach their children to help others: Joan Kleppinger Harrison, mother of CEO Scott Harrison, attributes her son's success to the foundation she laid early on, based on community spirit, discipline and hard work. As an elementary school student, Scott Harrison was taught by his mother to sort clothes, books and toys to give to friends who were less fortunate. These acts of mutual love help children develop a warm heart, thereby developing an early awareness of other people's problems. According to the mother, this awareness helps children ask business-related questions such as "should things develop in this direction?", "how can we build in a better direction?".

Parents who allow their kids to fail: Nia Batts, who left a stable office job to start her own business, says she was brave enough to do this because she learned the value of failure as a child. While many parents want their children to always succeed and don't tolerate mistakes, Nia's parents wanted their daughter to grow up in an environment where failure was inevitable. They were excited to watch Nia learn from her failures. "My dad taught me that trauma is a gift and failure is an opportunity," Nia told CNBC.
