Another form of generational wealth: parents who can regulate their emotions.

Here's Why:
As a society we're very much focused on giving children an education, material wealth, and a focus on achievement.
Yet, we have a society of people who are depressed, anxious, and unable to create healthy relationships.
This is directly tied to our inability to emotionally regulate. Emotional regulation is the ability to feel emotions and cope with them in mature ways.

- less likely to suffer with addiction

Having parents who can regulate their emotions doesn't look like a perfect parent with no flaws. It looks like a flawed person open to admitting mistakes, listening to their child's perspective, and allowing their child to fully self express.
So many adults do not trust themselves today because they were shamed, neglected, or overly-protected by parents who couldn't allow them to struggle or find solutions.
An adult who can regulate their emotions gives their child the ultimate gift: confidence.
They relieve them of the burden of having to raise their parent, to be their therapist, or to become who their parents wants them to be.
