As parents, we hear a lot about the things we should do with our kids. But it's also important to flip that around and consider what we shouldn't do.As I researched and wrote my book, "Raising an Entrepreneur," I interviewed 70 parents who raised highly successful adults about how they helped their children achieve their dreams.Despite the diverse ethnic, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds, there were four things that the parents of these smart, driven and entrepreneurial individuals never did when their kids were…

Ahn thinks the stagnant number could mean that liberal compliance was already at a “ceiling,” a high past which it couldn’t improve.
