What really shapes success — nature, nurture, luck? It's a perennial question. 

The Family Dynamic is a brilliant, captivating exploration of families in which all of the children became high-achievers. 

The award-winning author, Susan Dominus, has woven academic research into a book of wonderfully engaging family stories that tease out the role played by our environment: Parents with a bold vision, community, neighbourhoods, and most enlightening of all siblings. 

If you’ve ever questioned how important your parenting really is, the impact of siblings on your child's life, the role of community, or whether our kids should do chores, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

SIBLINGS: 

Based on Susan Dominus's research, siblings play a crucial role in a child's success through several key mechanisms:

Motivational Influence

👉Siblings can inspire and push each other to achieve more

Knowledge Transfer

👉Successful older siblings often provide guidance about opportunities like college applications and career paths. They can offer vision and perspective that parents might not have.

Spillover Effect

👉In lower-income families, the success of one sibling can positively impact younger siblings. When one child achieves, it can create a pathway and belief system for other siblings

Mentorship

👉Children are more likely to listen to and be inspired by siblings than parental suggestions
