The Parenting Behaviors That Quietly Shape Lifelong Success

During this episode, we close on a human note with seven research-backed parenting behaviors from an 80‑year British cohort study: attentive listening, warm responses, shared ambitions, early numeracy and literacy, horizon-expanding trips, reading for pleasure, and consistent bedtimes. These simple habits compound into stronger literacy, math, and tech skills, as well as better behavior. Policy sets the stage, but daily choices—by companies, communities, and families—shape the outcomes.
