How do you know that your child is on its way to become a star? Well, this discussion is always of interest. Is it better to have both parents around, do you trust your maid to take care of your children, is short but intensive quality time better than quantity time that is wasted in front of the TV? Or how beneficial is it to send your child from one tuition center to the next?
"The seeds of their success (the ones who became stars later on) were sown long before they started ninth grade. The survey results, based on 72% of the 378 winners responding, are telling in terms of their family lives:
• 94% said they grew up in homes with both a mother and a father.
• 57% of their fathers had doctorates, and 58% of their mothers had a master's degree or doctorate. More than 95% of the fathers and 91% of the mothers had at least a bachelor's degree, and 100% of the parents had at least a high school diploma.
• In 43% of the families, only one parent worked outside the home for the majority of the student's school years."
"What's most significant is the way parents live and demonstrate that they value education. In the survey, parental involvement/influence was rated "very important" to their high school success by 81% of the respondents — slightly more than "personal work ethic" (79%), "finding an activity I was passionate about" (77%) and "a great teacher or mentor" (74%)."
So, when was the last time you spent time with your children, guided them, taught them something and didn't just shut them up? In short, it is not just quantity that you need to spend but quality that you give.
In fact, as younger the children are, as more valuable you are as a parent, because, that is the time when you instill values, and beliefs and all. And you don't want this to be taken over by television, a maid, or a nursery teacher that also teaches 15 or 20 other children?
