You don ' t know much then <| sep |> Let ' s say you ' re a rich parent trying to avoid slovenly children . Expose them to situations early on that emphasize their ability to collect and retain power through interesting , stimulating creative work . Do not attempt to force them down any particular path of development however , when you catch an interest that has relation to the real world , do everything you can to support this . Introduce them to such interests in a noncompulsory way . Keep them externally active and keep in mind that such people will get bored very easily by conventional standards . Foster a mindset that understands it can enjoy interactions with the outside world and find them far more satisfying than introverted fantasy .
