While I haven't come across anything to do with parenting and its influences (yet), I would say that it's important to not simply look at standard intelligence tests and academic performance when evaluating parenting styles.<br /><br />Emotional intelligence (how adequate our emotional responses are to life's challenges) is extremely important, and I would say that this is highly influenced by the example parents set and how they treat their children. In fact, this has an enormous influence on a child's character building and personality.<br /><br />I never knew Freakonomics dealt with these things (actually, I never knew what the hell Freakonomics was all about!). I should definitely check it out!Haiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753349754435163123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251319069640023616.post-2990870155418283102010-01-09T15:32:10.817-08:002010-01-09T15:32:10.817-08:00I can call that post a spoiler :)

I thought it was non-sense, but turned one of the greatest. It's about the study of what some scientists believe to be more crucial to our final outcome than genes. It's something that sets on top of genes, and controls them like switches, on & off. It's called epigenetic. <br /><br />Documentary is "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Your-Genes-Nova/dp/B000XBPDYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1263079702&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Ghost in your genes</a>"Basharhttp://blogallalong.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251319069640023616.post-79998086663741302702010-01-09T15:25:10.267-08:002010-01-09T15:25:10.267-08:00I had to Google "socioeconomic" ashwaaa ...I had to Google "socioeconomic" ashwaaa it has nothing to do with social skills :P that is if I decide to have kids someday .. :PBloggylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670091569680371008noreply@blogger.com
