You're making a few assumption that don't hold true in my culture/philosophy: 1. a specific type of success 2. the need for such type of success I personally don't value any of them, and in my culture they're not pushed hard, either.

I guess there is literature about the relationship between genius parents (in a strict sense, so not my case) and children, since probably, very similar mechanics develop.
