I’m rather curious how parents can “be” something to children without doing, since it’s supposed children don’t know their parents before their first contact (after birth, I mean).
I didn’t said that they aren’t doing anything. I said that identifying specific behaviors doesn’t make a good predictor.
Characteristics like high emotional intelligence are better predictors.
Working on increased emotional intelligence and higher self esteem would be work that changes “who you are”.
Taking steps to raise their own emotional intelligence might have a much higher effect that taking children to the museum to teach them about
I think I have heard of such studies, but the conclusion is different.
Who the parents are matter more than things like which school do the kids go, or in which neighborhood they live, etc.
But in my view, that’s only because being something (let’s say, a sportsman), will makes you do things that influence your kids to pursue a similar path
Yep.
