Why parents should stop blaming themselves for how their kids turn out Millions of children have been studied to disentangle all the shaping forces. Studies have followed identical twins and fraternal twins and plain-old siblings growing up together or adopted and raised apart. Growing up in the same home does not make children noticeably more alike in how successful they are, how happy or self-reliant they are, and so on.
In other words, imagine if you'd been taken at birth and raised next door by the family to the left and your brother or sister had been raised next door by the family to the right. By and large, that would have made you no more similar or different than growing up together under the same roof.
On the one hand, these findings seem unbelievable. Think about all the ways that parents differ from home to home and how often they argue and whether they helicopter and how much they shower their children with love. You'd think it would matter enough to make children growing up in the same home more alike than if they'd been raised apart, but it doesn't.
But just because an event doesn't shape people in the same way doesn't mean it had no effect. Your parenting could be shaping your children - just not in the ways that lead them to become more alike. Your parenting could be leading your first child to become more serious and your second child to become more relaxed. Or, it could lead your first child to want to be like you and your second child to want to be nothing like you.
You are flapping your butterfly wings to your hurricane children.

Editor's Note: Thanks Shubman Gill for your jaunty 91 that made this impossible result possible. Thanks Rishabh Pant, for your 89 not out that made it certain, and to think that we once had you pegged as Tim Paine's babysitter. It was Paine senior who needed bit of rocking in the cradle at the end of this day. Thank you, Cheteshwar Pujara, who bodily absorbed all that Australia could throw at you and in the process wore them out so that they had only lollipops to offer with the new ball in the last hour. |

Editor's Note: "One person suggested, have you tried the word 'password'?" he told US news outlet, KGO-TV. "Some people have recommended various mediums, psychics, prophets that I could talk to. Some people are suggesting nootropic memory enhancing drugs." He has not taken up any of the offers, including the help of hackers who claim they can break into the IronKey for a slice of the fortune. |
Editor's Note: The research is clear about how we grow most successfully: it's a combination of on-the-job, social, and formal learning, also known as the 70-20-10 model. This research-derived mantra says that roughly 70% of your professional growth will come from the work experiences you have, 20% will come from your interactions with others, and 10% will come from formal education. Think of growth as a cycle - successfully perform, get feedback, and perform again even better. |

Editor's Note: Luxottica dominates the global eyewear market with an estimated global market share of 85% and annual revenue of $19 billion. In India, however, the firm lays claim to only 15% of the market. Stanley Black and Decker had $14 billion in global revenue last year, yet only $67 million of that (less than 1%) was in India. These are world class companies with some of the brightest minds in the world. They didn't become the 800-pound gorillas of their respective industries by chance. But they stumble when they come to emerging markets, and they are not the only ones. |
