Though I'm not disagreeing about the above, I would add 4)By Talking. and
talking, talking and talking. For example, I can't influence my teenage
daughter's social behavior by example, but I can talk about my own teenage
years and my current feelings from an adult perspective.

So if you are worried about passing along your own deficits, you can discuss
them honestly with your kids - and that's a great example too!
