How do children need to be trained to be successful?

  Nowadays, many people talk about raising poor sons and rich daughters. As a child health care physician, I don’t think this is entirely a problem in the medical field.  Does a son need to be nurtured in the spirit of hard work, but not a daughter? Does a daughter need to develop the ability to resist temptation, but not a son?  I don’t think so.  Nowadays, many families have only one child, and they want to train the best qualities and strongest abilities in their only child, so the choice between rich and poor parenting is especially important when the parents themselves can afford to raise their children.  In my own heart of hearts, I want my children to have the qualities of being able to suffer, to appreciate and save, and not to be so petty as to be tempted by the petty gains of others. This requires me to combine poor parenting with rich parenting in my daily life. In some cases, I tell my children that they should be hardworking, believe that no pie will fall from the sky, cherish and be grateful to others, while in other cases, I tell them not to be stingy and to share with others.  I don’t think it has much to do with the gender of the child. What matters is that I want him to have better qualities and be more competitive in the modern society.
