Love the section on effective parenting by allowing them to experience things for themselves. In a reasonable fashion, this includes allowing them to take risks (same as in a work environment) which stretch them. Occasionally they will fail and make mistakes but isn't that how we all grow?
If the parenting me of thirty odd years ago had known or thought about this kind of approach I think I could have done better as a parent. There's so much home relationship value in some of the business skills and we don't tend to easily make that crossover.

Thank you, Ian. I completely agree about the potential benefits at home of the skills we teach. It's a great place to practice new skills too!
