I was raised in a farming community in a modest home with five siblings. We didn't have a lot of money. Yet, somehow, we all turned out to be responsible, industrious, well-meaning adults.

- Smarter
- Higher achievers
- Healthier
- More likely to avoid high risk behaviors
And you'll have better relationships with them.
