How Do Different Parenting Techniques Work?
The impact of different parenting techniques on children's long-term outcomes is often overestimated. Research on twins and adoptees shows that children from very different types of homes end up similarly. For instance, children adopted into the wealthiest families had comparable average income to those adopted into the poorest families. Similarly, the difference in a child's education based on the mother's education level is relatively modest. The research aims to differentiate between the parenting aspects that truly impact outcomes versus those that are coincidental. Thus, it is suggested that focusing on enjoying time together with children in the short run may be more beneficial than obsessing over specific parenting techniques for long-term success.
