Before anyone goes all Karen with “I will always be their mom/dad” just stop, settle down and get some self control, which is what we are really talking about here. Someone in one of our groups on MeWe posted an article titled “The Childhood Quality That’s the Best Predictor of Health, Wealth, and Happiness” https://bit.ly/3yncffk it is totally worth a read but the cliff notes version is this…

“What characteristic, measured in childhood, best predicts health, wealth, and happiness in that individual 20 years down the road, when the child is an adult? Is it intelligence? Grades in school? Ability to make friends? No. It is none of these things. Longitudinal cohort studies consistently find that self-control in childhood best predicts health, wealth, and happiness in adulthood, far better than IQ scores, grades in school, friendliness or popularity.”

Almost 13 years ago now, on June 20th, 2008 to be exact I started The Survival Podcast and have been saying since about that time, “good parenting is working yourself out of a job”. Today we discuss what that means.
