A Harvard Study: https://curiousmindmagazine.com/parents-who-raise-good-kids/
The headlines are:
Spend Quality Time - do things like reading
Be Role Model - including admitting mistakes and making time for yourself
Teach to Care for Others - including responsibilities and duties for others; not just 'be happy' but 'be kind and be happy'
Practice Appreciation and Gratitude
See the Big Picture - be kind, empathetic outside immediate circle
I think we - as parents - are ok at what is being stated but could do more on the last three.
