Dr. Terri Orbuch: How to Raise an Athlete

As a teen, I lived, dreamed, and thought about tennis all the time. When I wasn't playing on my high school tennis team, I was at the courts practicing with my father, who was my early coach. I taught tennis in the summers to young children at the neighborhood courts down the street from my house. My parents encouraged me to play tennis, but they also wanted me to play other team sports year-round at my high school. So I also played on the badminton team in the winter and ran for track and field in the spring. As a result of being an athlete, I learned coordination, leadership, team spirit, physical strength, and interpersonal skills. In fact, sports taught me lessons and skills I would not have easily learned elsewhere. Research finds that when children participate in sports, it helps them learn coordination, leadership skills, how to work in a group, cope with frustration, acquire physical strength, and develop communication skills.

The Socioeconomics of Parenting

Most parents believe that even the most mundane acts of parenting—from their choice of day care to their policy on videogames—can profoundly influence the success of their children. Kids are like wet clay, in this view, and we are the sculptors. Yet in tests measuring many traits, from intelligence to self-control, the power of the home environment pales in comparison to the power of genes and peer groups. We may think we're sculptors, but the clay is mostly set. A new paper suggests that both metaphors can be true. For a paper in Psychological Science, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Virginia looked at 750 pairs of American twins who were given a test of mental ability at the age of 10 months and then again at the age of 2.

When it came to the mental ability of 10-month-olds, the home environment was the key variable, across every socioeconomic class. SmartChildren. Violence in the Media.
