Silver Hill’s Ben Bernstein, PhD, Highlighted in Parade on Parenting Habits That Raise Successful Kids
Parade Magazine recently shared parenting practices that foster confidence, resilience, and long-term success in children. Qualities psychologists emphasize are increasingly vital in today’s world.
In the article, “10 Habits of Parents Who Raise Successful Kids, Experts Say,” Ben Bernstein, PhD psychologist at Silver Hill Hospital, outlines strategies such as listening more than lecturing, naming feelings out loud and, allowing children to experience and learn from failure.
“Rather than immediately offering advice, parents and grandparents who raise successful children take a moment to listen and truly understand what the child is feeling,” Dr. Bernstein notes. “That simple act of listening shows kids they matter and helps them learn to reflect on themselves.”
By fostering structure, open communication, and unconditional support, parents can nurture children who grow into successful individuals and empathetic, well-balanced, and grounded adults.
