How to Raise a Successful Child - According to the Experts

There was an interesting program on The Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch last week about successful children and how to raise them. There were a handful of panelists with somewhat differing ideas but some similarities too. Troy Dunn was one of the guests and he has written a book about it, not to mention living it with 7 children of his own. He think it is healthy to give them incentive to win early as this is how life is and otherwise you are shielding them from it. Kimberly Spinks Burleson was also on the show and talked about the influence her father had and how she influences her children to succeed. Dr. Koplewicz, a psychiatrist, has his own top 10 list of how to raise successful children including taking time with your kids, share your stuggles, let kids make mistakes. And, Donnie himself, seemingly based on the collective info from the panelists, has The Ultimate Playbook for Raising Your Kids for Success. Always interesting to hear what the "experts" say and then adapt it according to the very personal needs of your own children.
