For children, however, teaching them that hard work and perseverance are critical characteristics successful people have is absolutely valid and useful. Those habits are built between age 6 and 10. Then you start introducing the other textures of life. But there you see one of the other prerequisites: parents willing, and having the ability or circumstance, to spend time and effort to teach their children.
