"Making the best person possible out of a child" is not motivation, it's the goal.

In other words, it's not the "why"--it's the "how."

What parent does not want the best for their kids? The question is, how to do that? There are informed answers to that question.

It seems like a weird and rather amorphous goal, since there's never any way of knowing whether or not someone is the best person they could possibly be. I certainly doubt that many parents have this goal in mind.

>There are informed answers to that question.

To an extent. There's also lots of contradictory advice that's difficult to verify.
