Expert Pediatrician Challenges Parenting Norms: Environment, Not Parents, Shapes Children's Long-Term Future
In a recent viral video, Dr. Mike Milobsky, a pediatrician with 25 years of experience and a father of seven, challenged conventional wisdom regarding parental influence on children's long-term outcomes. Dr. Milobsky stated that, contrary to popular belief, the number one influence on a child's life course and adult outcome is not their parents' parenting style, but rather the environment in which they live. This includes their peer groups, school community, and the broader community. He further elaborated that the peak influence of parenting on a child's behavior occurs between the ages of zero and seven. This influence, he noted, significantly drops to about 6% after age 15 and becomes "essentially zero" after age 21. Dr. Milobsky emphasized that a child's inherent traits, abilities, makeup, and personality are primarily determined by their genetic background. He concluded that the long-term outcome of an individual is largely shaped by the influences around them as they mature, which in turn dictate how their genetic predispositions emerge. For those seeking more in-depth knowledge on the subject, Dr. Milobsky recommended exploring the work of Dr. Russell Barkley, a prominent figure in child neuropsychological development.
