Science Says These 10 Things Will Help You Raise Extremely Smart and Successful Kids

1. Do teach social skills.
A 20-year study by researchers at Pennsylvania State and Duke University shows a positive correlation between children's social skills in kindergarten and their success in early adulthood.

2. Don't overprotect.
Drawing on a Harvard University study, Julie Lythcott-Haims argues that allowing kids to make mistakes and develop resilience and resourcefulness is critical in setting them up for success.

3. Do get your kids involved in academics early (then encourage independence when they are older.

4. Don't let them languish in front of a screen.
Too much screen time has been linked to childhood obesity, irregular sleep patterns, and behavioral issues.

5. Do set high expectations.
The study found that, by the time they were four, almost all the children in the highest performing study group had parents who expected them to attain a college degree.

6. Don't spend too much time praising innate qualities such as intelligence or looks.
"Wow, you got an A without even studying? You are so smart!"

7. Do assign chores.
A University of Minnesota analysis of data found that the best predictor of success in young adulthood was whether children had performed chores as young as three or four.

8. Don't tune out.
As the first generation of parents with 24/7 access to the Internet, it is important for us to know when to disconnect and focus on the family.

9. Do strive for a peaceful, loving home
Children in high-conflict families tend to fare worse than children of parents that get along, according to a University of Illinois study review.

10. Don't be too hard (or too soft)
Diana Baumrind, in her groundbreaking 1966 study, distinguished between authoritarian (very strict), permissive (very lenient), and authoritative (equally disciplined and loving) parents.
