When Do Children Rebel?

Blog: My theory: a child will adopt a parents’ tastes and values and outlook in inverse correlation with the narcissism of that parent. If a parent is a blowhard — of high or low IQ — who can never admit his mistakes, his child is likely to adopt an opposite outlook. And vice versa.
If a parent is too rigid in his or her thinking, the child will see that and instinctively go in an opposite direction. And if the parent is loathsome in his hypocrisy, that will also drive the child (or anyone else) away.
