@patrickc many parents seem to agree that their kids are who they are the moment they're born—lots of personality evident at once, etc.
@patrickc if your goal is creating a strong family rather than just improving economic success, maybe you view this data differently.
@patrickc why you might want that (happiness and so on) overlaps with his conclusions but I don't think is dismissed by what I read here.
@patrickc anyway, an interesting read. I completely agree that soccer or tae kwon do classes drive many parents mad for no apparent reason!
@marcprecipice Well, any economic considerations aside, claim seems to be that nature >> nurture for happiness too.pic.twitter.com/1wevo2Zx5w
@marcprecipice @patrickc I've heard this as: how you parent may not change who they are, but it sure affects their relationship with *you*.
@avibryant @marcprecipice Yes. Part of my takeaway was that you should just optimize for mutual enjoyment & not worry too much about macro.
@patrickc @avibryant among other things, if you have a child "by disposition [a] downer," a strong family might be the support they need.
