Want to Raise Successful Kids? A Fascinating 30-Year Study Says Doing This at Age 6 Means They'll Make More Money as Adults

Writing in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, the researchers from the University of Montreal set out to learn "which disruptive behaviors in kindergarten are associated with employment earnings in adulthood for boys from low socioeconomic backgrounds."

They tracked nearly 1,000 boys over 30 years--correlating their teachers' assessments of their behavior in 1984, when they were 5 or 6, with their adult earnings decades later (which they obtained from their tax returns as 35 and 36-year-old adults).

What they discovered could have significant implications for the way parents -- especially parents of boys -- view their children's behavior at an early age.
