kids

I think there's a lot of factors to producing a good kid. I think some parents can do everything right but outside influences and wilful personalities create difficult situations. Then you've got some parents that don't put a whole lot of effort into them and their children turn out fine. I think good parents give children a great foundation but don't always guarantee "a good kid".

I think that good parenting helps to make good people. However that is not to say that if your child (one of mine is special needs and has some behavior problems as well) behaves poorly you are a bad parent. Also good people can come out of really bad home situations. I think you have a better chance with good loving parents to success but it isn't always a garantee. Personally and capabilities of the individual child does play a role as well.
