"While there isn't a set recipe for raising successful children, psychology research has pointed to a handful of factors that predict success," observes Rachel Gillett in her Independent article, "Nine Things Parents of Successful Children Have in Common." These factors predict success:
1. They teach their kids social skills.
2. They have high expectations.
3. The mothers work.
4. They have a higher socioeconomic status.
5. They've attained higher educational levels.
6. They teach their kids math early on.
7. They develop a relationship with their kids.
8. They're less stressed.
9. They value effort over avoiding failure.
