What parent doesn’t want his or her children to be successful in life? If you’re a parent, I’m willing to bet you desire this too. After all, this is one of the reasons we work hard and sacrifice a lot. If you’ve been wondering what you can do to give your kids an edge in life – then wonder no more.

As an example, instead of praising a child for getting a high grade on a test, praise them for the work they did to get the result.
