33. Move your body.
“Literally move your body, whether it’s taking time to work out or 
a quick walk around the block after lunch. I’m more bookish than 
athletic, but as I’ve had to learn to manage myself along with my 
business, I’ve found that even a little bit of exercise gives me extra 
energy and a more positive outlook. 
Plus, there’s something about a simple walk that gives your brain 
time to sort through and resolve problems.” 
--Tricia Han, CEO of health and fitness app Daily Burn

extraordinary.” --Elon Musk

SOME SCI-

PARENTING 
STRATEGIES 
TO HELP YOU 
RAISE HIGHLY 
SUCCESSFUL 
KIDS.

than done.
The truth is, there is no set path to guaranteed parenting success 
(believe me, I’ve tried finding one). What I did find are a number 
of important studies that provide some guidelines that can greatly 
improve your odds.
Here are ten things you should do to raise smart, well-rounded 
kids.
