Bill Gates doesn't pretend he lives in an egalitarian（主张平等的） household． When it comes to parenting his three children， the billionaire Microsoft giant readily admits his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the work raising the kids．

"My wife does 80%，" Gates told a crowd  of Harvard students last Thursday． Gates spent two years there taking math and computer science courses as a pre﹣law student， but never finished up his degree． "Myeldest graduates from Stanford in June， so I'm optimistic she won't fall into my footsteps，" Gates joked．

1. They followed a 1970s "Love and Logic" parenting model． The core idea of the philosophy is centered on the idea of exerting emotional control， essentially minimizing emotional reactions like shouting or scolding kids．2. Gates admits he and his wife haven't been perfect at carrying out the approach．

"Can you get rid of the emotion？ You can't totally do it，" he said．

Aside from ruling in hot﹣blooded parent tempers， the love and logic model also stresses the importance of not leaning into  rewards for kids， but  instead demonstrating unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are， not what they do （or don't） achieve， like a poor test score．

"Many highly successful people struggled with grades as children，" Fay wrote on his site． "3."

The model is a bit like the ideal method， in that it pushes parents to focus on asking questions of their kids and getting them to think about how to solve their own problems， instead of feeding them answers．

4.． However， he knew he wanted to do things differently with his own kids．

It wasn't the only way he set boundaries for his children while they were growing up． None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old． And they will each get about ﹩10 million of their parents fortune as inheritance，a mere fraction of the giant's roughly ﹩90 billion net worth． "We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything， but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing，" Gates once told TED．
