This scientist was raised in the Nintendo/ TV age, but with parents who limited my time at such activities. Spending time outside was mandatory. Boredom followed by inventing games/tearing stuff apart was frequent. There's certainly no 100% foolproof method to raising a scientist (and I think that'd be a terrible parenting goal :), but there may be things to learn here. It would be fascinating to have a study of current 25-35 year olds occupations and parenting rules. Perhaps it's been done? (a few rules that could be asked about "limited screen time", punishment (e.g. spanking, timeout), being sent "outside", etc...).
