I know that methods and strategies are not foolproof. You can only do your best with the experience that life has given you. Even then,you can still get it wrong.
Getting it wrong can have disastrous consequences.
I feel for the parents of the 15 year old. They will live with their own brand of nightmare for the rest of their lives and will be asking themselves all the 'if only' questions, with no answers.
If you raise children to be happy, then you deserve a medal.

seems your daughter is doing a good job margaret but don,t think it,s an art though it,s more like good luck. others will attempt that type of parenting and bring up a nightmare child and others will have a couldn,t care less approach and bring up a dream child. so called experts have wrote articles and books about parenting and it,s not a suit all situation. every family are different and just getting it right for you doesn,t mean it will be for someone else.
