Sharing, taking turns, key to kids' future success

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WPVI) -- For parents of pre-schoolers, if you are using classical music or high-tech educational apps to try to groom your child for success, some say there is a better way.

Experts at Penn State say teaching kids to share, take turns, and play together is a more certain road to future success.

Their 20-year study showed that kindergartners with the best social skills were more likely to earn high school and college degrees on-time, and get successful full-time jobs.

Also, fewer of them had drug problems or run-ins with the law.

In fact, in the study, social skills were a better predictor for success than race, gender, or family income.
