Parenting isn’t easy. After all, there’s no manual to it. Luckily, vicarious learning can
simplify it a great deal. Learning from other parents is a great way to avoid making certain
mistakes. Scientists have studied different parental behaviors over time. And today, any
parent out there has a cheat code to raising successful children. Here are some tips worth
noting.
Teach Them to Fall in Love With Nature
The success of a child depends a lot on their cognitive development. Taking the child out to
play from an early age helps nurture their cognitive development. It’s even better when
the child can interact with green spaces. This leads to a more fulfilling life and a general
sense of well-being as the child grows up. On top of this, time spent outdoors also helps
children in their academics. Kids who spend time playing outside during recess tend to

feel supported, and present parents help them do that. Kids who’ve got a good
relationship with present parents experience a lot of success. After all, success stems from
children with self-esteem and a sense of self-efficacy.
Show Them How to Care for Others
Nurturing altruistic behavior in children is also a great way to ensure success. Making time
to teach the kids virtues like kindness, empathy, and love leads to their success. Such
success stems from the fact that they’ll have a less selfish way of looking at the world. An
egocentric attitude often hampers one’s problem-solving abilities.
Be Someone They Can Look Up To
Children model behaviors of their caregivers. That means if you’d like them to turn out a
certain way, you should act that out for them. That doesn’t mean being perfect. It means
showing them how to act even when they do make mistakes.
While parenting isn’t easy, bringing up successful kids shouldn’t have to feel impossible.
Thanks to all the research that’s out there, one only needs to apply the information.
