@wsj The best thing for your kids' self esteem is not to worry so much about your kids' self-esteemhttp://jaymans.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/taming-the-tiger-mom-and-tackling-the-parenting-myth/ … -
@JayMan471@wsj Or perhaps not to worry *period* since that can lead to helicopter parenting (recent studies link HP to depression in youth) -
@ConcourseExp
@wsj Those studies are completely worthless, as are most parenting studies -
@JayMan471@wsj ...owing to peer (i.e. non-shared environment) and genetic effects and their share of the variance, yes? -
@ConcourseExp
@wsj Well, thanks to heredity. The real culprits are heredity and the things you mentioned. -
@JayMan471@wsj (1/2) Given that, seems the real key is finding the right person to have kids with to maximize children's "genetic fitness"
